The Stalking of Louise Copperfield
by Robert W Fisk
The two central characters, Louise Copperfield and Charlotte Hoar, are connected by the same man, their high school teacher David Bannister. As adults, they react in different ways to their experience; one with emotional difficulties for which she blames herself and the other with feelings of worthlessness. Louise's husband Frank wagers Stuart cannot seduce Louise at a company party, while Charlotte seeks vengeance for imagined injustices.
