In his own words, Charlie Cross is a bloke in love. A hard-drinking, chain-smoking lawyer, he is well-off, divorced and heading for trouble. When he meets Viola in an after-hours drinking club, he knows instinctively that they could do each other harm. What follows is one man's record of a love affair, an erotic, savagely funny and heartfelt tale of destructive sexual passion.
Andrew Davies was born in Cardiff and lives in Warwickshire. His plays, Prin and Rose, were highly praised in the West End and New York, and he has won numerous awards for his work for television, which includes A Very Peculiar Practice, Mother Love and House of Cards. Getting Hurt was his first novel, and he has since published a collection of short stories, Dirty Faxes, which is also available in Minerva.
