Juliet, Naked

Annie and Duncan fit together naturally, like jigsaw pieces, though Duncan's passionate obssesion with Tucker Crowe, the reclusive, tortured genius, songwriter, has never left much time for anything more meaningful - marriage, kids, conversations other than Tucker Crowe and his disappearence after a mysterious incident in a nightclub toilet twenty yeard previously. In fact, Annie's starting to wonder wether she's wasted fifteen years on a bad relationship, stuck in a dull job in a dull town on England's bleak east coast.

When Tucker's record company suddenly issue a stripped-down version of his most famous album, Tucker's first release for decades, and Annie just can't see what's good about it, or at least what's better about it than the original, Duncan finds solace in bed with somebody else - and Annie is at last liberated to throw him out.

But worse is to follow for Duncan: Annie is not alone in her opinion. After she posts a review in a fan website, she gets response from a completely unlikely source, Tucker himself.
