Man or Mango? by Lucy Ellmann
Eloise and George, a pair of star-crossed lovers...Eloise spends her time avoiding the human race and making lists of damaging encounters and the length of time it takes her to recover from them: 'Speaking to postman: half an hour...Preparing to make phonecall (days) indefinite'. Yet she is also desperately yearning for George, her sometime lover, an American poet embarked on an epic of ice-hockey. Equally besotted, George has pursued Eloise to England. When the two are reunited by chance the results are truly explosive...
