From Publishers Weekly This fourth effort from British writer Winterson ( Sexing the Cherry ) is a high-concept erotic novelette， a Vox for the postmarital crowd. The narrator， a lifelong philanderer ("I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick")， has fallen in love with Louise， a pre-Raphaelite beauty. Louise is unhappily married to a workaholi...(展开全部)

This is a love story and, like all Winterson's novels, a philosophical meditation, this time on the body: as the repository for our emotions and souls. The object is a married woman, Louise, and the narrator is her lover, gender undeclared. The affair intensifies beyond anything either of the lovers has ever known or hoped for. And as they dissect their passion and longing, Jea...(展开全部)

The most beguilingly seductive novel to date from the author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. Winterson chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator, who is given neither name nor gender, and the beloved, a complex and confused married woman. "At once a love story and a philosophical meditation."--New York Times Book Review.
