When they first meet and begin to talk about themselves and their backgrounds, Tess and Mungo feel compelled to invent stories of lives very different from their own. Both are aware that the fables they tell one another are just that -- fabulous tales designed to present the teller in a more seductive light. Gradually, they become drawn in by each other's stories. Talking, loving and weaving tales -- exotic, sexual, and guilt-ridden -- they stoke the fires of a burgeoning affair.
