Envy Paperback – 2 January 2007

Kathryn Harrison . Harper Perennial . English

From the author of ‘The Kiss’ and ‘The Binding Chair’ comes an intense novel of dark secrets and sexual betrayal. Will has a good sex life – with the woman he married. So why then is he increasingly plagued by violent erotic fantasies? He's about to lose his grip when he attends a college reunion and there discovers evidence of a past sexual betrayal, one serious enough that it threatens to overpower the present. Hypnotic and beautifully written, this mesmerising novel explores how painful psychological truths long buried within a family can corrupt the present but, through courage and understanding, lead to healing and renewal.
