Jenny is a third-rate music-hall chanteuse living in Edwardian London. When she remarks to her mentor and lover Leo that she never wants to grow old, she is unwittingly making a pact with the Devil. Her contract to love him will reside at the Metaphysical Bank in High Street Kensington--forever. Leo has lived through thousands of years in numerous incarnations. As he gleefully exploits what 20th century London has to offer--as a magician ("the Great Pantoffsky"), fighter pilot, coke dealer, city banker--Jenny finds that the joy of eternal youth is short-lived. Her unchanging appearance provokes questions and Jenny has to move abroad or constantly reinvent herself. For 60 years she has to pass herself off as her own offspring. When she bears a real daughter that may or may not be Leo's, his destructive nature comes to the fore. She flees from him and destroys the contract that she has never read. At the same time Leo understands that Jenny is the one woman that he has truly loved and that perhaps it is time the Devil made a stab at family life, whatever the consequences. A compelling journey through 20th-century Europe and beyond, Miranda Miller's ingenious take on the Faust story is by turns humorous, erotic, and terrifying.

The novel tells the story of Felix Canaris, a brilliant and ambitious young writer, and Jasper Helwyze, a wealthy and enigmatic man who becomes a mentor to Felix. The novel is a retelling of the Faust legend, with Jasper Helwyze playing the role of Mephistopheles, the devil's advocate. Felix is struggling to find success as a writer and is willing to make a Faustian bargain to achieve fame and fortune. He encounters Jasper, who offers him wealth, power, and the opportunity to realize his ambitions in exchange for his soul. Felix agrees to the deal, and Jasper becomes his benefactor, providing him with the means to achieve literary success. As Felix rises to fame and fortune, he becomes increasingly corrupt, abandoning his principles and moral values. His association with Jasper leads to a series of moral and ethical dilemmas, and he begins to question the cost of his Faustian bargain. Throughout the novel, the characters grapple with themes of ambition, temptation, moral decay, and the consequences of making a pact with the devil. The narrative explores the darker aspects of human nature and the choices individuals make in pursuit of their desires.
