30 April 2021

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945); Erotic fiction

Lou is a shy and diligent librarian at the local Heritage Institute. She works monotonous and dusty hours long into the night but she has found nothing - and no one - to go home to. She has resigned herself to passionless sex on her desk with the Director of the Institute.

When she is summoned to a remote island to inventory the estate of Colonel Cary, she takes it as an opportunity to get out of the city, hoping for a industrious summer of cataloguing.

Colonel Cary left many possessions behind, but she didn't expect the bear. She soon begins to anticipate the bear's needs for food and company. But as summer blossoms across the island and Lou shakes off the city, she realises the bear might satisfy some needs of her own.
