So a few of us were in chat last night, and a newb (whose screenname I've sadly forgotten) asked us to sum up our novels briefly... in six words. It was challenging and fun, so I thought I'd bring it to the boards!

Can you boil your novel down to a six word summary?

Go!

[EDITED TO ADD: the person who suggested this game went by "etermami" - thanks bunneh]
