This Year's Ashes

She hates her office job, the alcohol isn't making her as drunk as it used to, and she seems to be allergic to the water

But there is always the company of strangers in this city the stranger, the better

So she's doing fine

Except, savage grief has Ellen in its grip and it's getting tighter

And the anonymous guy she's going home with may not be so anonymous

A hilarious, touching urban fable of connection and redemption, of moving and moving on
