A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The narrative of the obsession is told with great verve and conviction, from the first fortuitous encounter...to the open-ended conclusion (Penelope Lively, Evening Standard)

Vibrantly erotic...brave and searingly honest..compulsively gripping (Graham Lord, Sunday Times)

It is a sexy book. It is a romantic book. Its heart is the dream of great passion (Philippa Gregory, The Sunday Times)

The key to the success of the book is its simplicity and unpretentiousness...makes convincing the disorderly and unreasoning passion of the orderly and reasoning man (Rose Tremain, Listener)
