The Hal X Syndrome

When playful American writer Elizabeth meets elusive British designer Hal, the two are irresistibly attracted.

But they've got their work cut out for them trying to fathom each other's nature and culture in the media mayhem of mid-90s London.

The hopes. The dreams. The quips. The insults. From spouting sweet nothings in a jam-packed dance club, to romping with the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus, Elizabeth and Hal battle it out for love - and their lives.

Tracey Kelly's novel captures the excitement, confusion and hilarity of the mating dance.

Review "Funny, surprising and original" - Terry Jones, film director, actor and Python About the author Tracey Kelly began writing stories, songs and poetry at an early age.

Her stories are inhabited by exuberant characters with a wacky point of view, apt to slip into surreal episodes.

She lives in England, where she writes for magazines and books, composes music, and sings.
