When Jim Nealon walks into Lizzie Flynn's shop and proposes that she help him make jigsaws, Lizzie agrees. She's about to turn 50, heading for her first hot flush. She could do with the distraction. Then Jim shows her the photographs he intends to use. Now the picture that was Lizzie's life is in the air, swirling around in a thousand pieces and threatening to fall. As she scrambles to put her life back together again, Lizzie realises that it can't be done. It was never a real picture anyway. Too many of the pieces don't fit. The Jigsaw Maker is the story of Lizzie's journey towards the truth.
