Publisher's Synopsis
It is by no means clear just how much control Jeremy Davenant has over his own life. For he's convinced that the blueprint of his future already exists on a page plucked from a random book. Romantic, fatalistic, quixotic, he blithely teaches with forged credentials at a Montreal university while waiting for his life to unfold. Yet one glance from a woman in the street below, and his life veers into chaotic mischance and obsession.
When Jeremy falls suddenly and inexplicably in love with the woman, Milena, he is convinced that their encounter has been foretold on the Page. But Milena's life (not to mention her sexual identity) requires as much decoding as the Page, and Jeremy stumbles after her into farce, terror, and, for a brief spell, bliss.
