Sometimes, things happen that are beyond our control.

“When I walked into The Saddler’s Arms that night, I felt calm
and relaxed, and the prognosis was rosy.
Yes.
There she was.
By the time I set eyes on her, I had lost interest in
drinking, smoking, eating, or thinking.
She hit me hard, dear reader. I cannot remember being hit so
hard by a woman.
And I had something of a history of being hit hard.
I knew instantly that I was doomed to love, and there was
nothing I could do about it.”

Borderline
Personality Disorder sufferer and released mental patient, John Dexter, falls
in love with Carla, a fresh- faced environmental student and part-time barmaid,
the first time he sees her. He should walk away, he knows he should, but he
doesn’t. He can’t.
And
by falling in love, he sets off a chain of events, which are at first, heart-warming
and inspirational, and then bleak and horrifying.
Cult
novel, Carla, is an introspective, moody and chilling romance novel with its
roots firmly in the work of the great pulp writers of the fifties. It is a book
for adults and for those who have lived through the occasionally bloody
battlefields that are the relationships between men and women.
