With the informatory sweep of "Fermat's Last Theorem", and the omnipresent force of nature at large in "Wuthering Heights", this novel is the heart-rending story of cartographer Dr Magda Beard, whose map-making metier finally enables her to come to terms with heartbreak. A commission to make a three dimensional map of The Rusland Valley, forces Dr Beard to return to the scene of a terrible tragedy, from which she has never recovered. As she begins to chart the beautiful, wild, dangerous terrain, so does she start to chart her own lost emotional landscape through a series of personal maps, locked in a cabinet. At times mystical, at times brutal, the past and present dance to the tune of pleasure and pain, love and loss, ultimately mapping the path to a future for Magda.

Review:
"'Loved Intimate Cartographies...Most of all, I liked, and responded to instantly, the tone of the writing - sharp, witty, clever and requiring absolute attention so as not to miss a single nuance...demanding but excellent' - Margaret Forster; 'Intelligent, tight and prettily written' - Anna Shapiro, The Times; 'A deeply moving novel with breathtaking clarity and rare emotional truth...reminiscent of Laurie Moore, Alexander beautifully combines insight with a spiky wry humour' - Julie Wheelwright, Scotland on Sunday"
