Griet's life is on a downward spiral. She's lost her baby, her husband has thrown her out and her suicide attempt is thwarted by a cockroach - yet her sense of humour remains intact. With the help of family, friends and her enigmatic therapist, Griet begins to rebuild her life, drawing comfort from the folk-tales her grandparents taught her to love. As she develops her own gift for weaving fantastical stories, both for a living and as a means of exploring what is happening to her, Griet holds on to her sanity, but still feels lonely and afraid. Then she meets Adam, an angel in the shape of a surfer, whose joyous eroticism liberates Griet in a way she never dreamt possible. But life is not a fairy-tale and she must still discover a way to save herself ...
