My darling Clementine

"Inara is changing. When thirty-something poetry professor Inara Barber abandons her domestic life in favor of a new job at a Louisiana liberal arts college she never expected to meet someone like Sawit. A beautiful and flighty artist who wears a distinctive orange-scented perfume, Sawit offers Inara an escape from her collapsing inner life. Every part of Inara's new life seems magical: the lush heat of swampy Louisiana, the citrus groves, the impressive university, and of course her dazzling new colleague, Sawit. As their tentative friendship grows, Inara suppresses thoughts of her ex-wife, the financial disaster of her pending divorce, and her own miscarriage months earlier. Before she knows it, Inara finds herself falling into familiar patterns of unhealthy obsession - despite Sawit's engagement to a man. It's much easier to focus on someone shiny and new instead of processing what she left behind-and why. Unable to consummate her feelings for Sawit, Inara channels her desire into an increasingly deranged consumption of citrus fruit.
