This deeply troubled soul is our narrator: a man who believes he offers the object of his love a tantalizing path out of the constrictions of her conservative rural life, a chance to escape to a world of fantasy. But the obsessive reliance he cultivates builds into a terrifying trap, with a crime and confession at the heart of it that threatens to rip their small community apart.<br><br>'Mesmerising . . .

Unholy brilliance.’ <i><b>Observer</b></i><br>'A unique creation and a tour de force of transgressive imagination.’ <i><b>Guardian (Book of the Day)</b></i></p>
