Civil servant Alison Buxton hates her cousin, City highflyer and accomplished pianist Benedict Vern, for trying to rape her when she was eleven and he fifteen. But what really happened all those decades ago? 'Work For Four Hands' is the story of Alison's battle to keep vital memories repressed when Benedict begins to pursue her again: memories of a love far more intense than two adolescents could cope with. Benedict thinks himself mad for trying to win Alison over, but he reckons without the power of the music he used to play for her, and the psychic tricks of the dead aunt who alone knew the truth.
