About This Book
A man named Marc Pillsworth is confronted with a miraculous tonic that arrests physical aging while a seductive female figure called Toffee inhabits his subconscious and watches for signs she might be released into reality. The narrative alternates between lush, dreamlike interior scenes and a brisk office negotiation as a persistent promoter presses Marc to commercialize the product. It examines the allure and practical implications of preserved youth, the commercial and ethical pressures stirred by such an invention, and the tension between inner fantasy and reluctant, worldly decision-making.
