Description
Book SynopsisOne lazy summer, Suzanne escapes her life in the city for a long holiday in the countryside. She rents a cabin in the woods, and places a personal ad in the newspaper: "Great kisser, good listener."
Among the several replies to her ad, one stands out. An ordinary letter, unremarkable in every way, except for the postmark: Stillwater State Prison.
The sender is Alpha Breville. A convict, a thief, and a rapist. Perhaps against her better judgement, she writes back to him. But what begins as a remote correspondence quickly evolves into something much more dangerous, exciting, and intimate...
Trade Review'A great story, beautifully told. A tour de force.' M. J. Hyland 'Totally remarkable. A book of unprecedented honesty.' Nancy Huston 'The questions the novel raises about abuse, attraction and damage are so subtly explored as to make the reader want to complete the novel in one sitting - A light that shows the way through the dark places of the heart.' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Taut, unpredictable and compelling.' Vogue
