Delicious combination of confused identities, personal dramas and moral dilemmas in a contemporary chiller from one of our most outstanding novelists.
For years, Isobel Latimer has composed serious novels for serious people, but to dwindling acclaim and ever-more dwindling gain. Now her husband is ill and she must carry their financial burden alone, and in secret.
But if the public dont want careful moral fables any longer, why not provide an outrageous tale of sex and satanism, and an author to match The incomparable, uncontrollable Zelda de Vere is born.
What began with the best of intentions snowballs into a disorienting blur of passion, gender-bending, loss of innocence, to betrayal and beyond. Isobel Latimer might feel shes on the brink of losing everything, but what would Zelda do
