Sitting alone in a local cafe, Camille is beginning a new life: she has started divorce proceedings and a new novel. Whilst gazing at passers-by, she falls in love with a man who happens to walk past. She follows him home and discovers he is an analyst, specialising in marriage guidance. To Camille this is an extraordinary piece of good luck, a promise for the future. With him, she can go straight to the point. Straight to love. In Those Arms is story about the loving of men and being loved by them. Within it is Camille's own book, about a writer like herself and all the men in her life: fathers, brother, grandfathers, friends, colleagues, bosses, husbands and, most of all, lovers.
