Caroline, separated from her husband, finds herself drawn to Lorenzo, who has not one but two other lovers. In these propulsive pages, Caroline herself speaks during a summer of erotic intensity and crisis, recording the stories of seduction, deception, and make-believe she and Lorenzo tell each other—but how true are any of them?
Unfolds feverishly, amorphously, and outside of any straightforward or linear narrative. Reading it is more like embodying the mind of another; not at all simple, and fascinating in both language and content.
A lyrical, stream-of-consciousness novella underscoring the realization that even the most exciting of love affairs can mean more distance than togetherness.
