Oh, god, it’s so beautiful and sad, this book. It’s the kind of book that takes recovering from, the type of book that you’re almost thankful you don’t see more of—but then after a while you’re not. Premi e riconoscimenti
As a young adult, she started to turn tricks in the parking lot of the local bar. Not because she needed the money, but because the money made explicit what sex had always been for her, a loveless transaction. A sadist takes her home to replay family dramas with his beautiful wife, and she becomes hopelessly drawn into their dangerous web, and eventually, ends up in more trouble than she ever bargained for. Arrested and confined to a psyche ward, a therapist is assigned to help her. But instead of treatment, they develop a sexual relationship, bringing her both confusion and revelation. Heather Lewis was the author of two other novels, House Rules and Second Suspect. In 2002, she took her own life at the age of 40. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

As her unnamed narrator wrestles with human cruelty and her own demons, Lewis drives her brutal story home with prose as sharp and smooth as a knife. But within the bleakness are fleeting moments of grace.
