______________ When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote countryside 
it's meant to be a fresh start. But when one of her students starts sending in chapters from
his novel that blur the lines between fiction and reality  the professor recognises herself as
the main character in his book - and he has written her a horrific fate. Will she be able to
stop life imitating art before it's too late? At once a breathless battle-of-wits and a
disarming exploration of sexual politics  The Body Lies is an essential book for our times.

how women's bodies are treated  in life and in fiction.' THE BOOKSELLER 'A novelist with a gift
for intimate and atmospheric storytelling' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Baker's heroine is one of the most
