4.0 out of 5 stars
Dark and Powerful,
This review is from: TRUE ROMANCE (Kindle Edition)
I first read this book when it was published in 1994 by Secker & Warburg, and it has lodged in my memory ever since. The prose has a rhythmic, hypnotic character, and it pulls you along, almost lulling you into a state of acceptance, so that at first you hardly realise that the mood is darkening, fears are deepening, the danger is increasing. It's the story of a menage a trois in London's Little Venice. Two men and a woman, circling each other, probing each other's vulnerability, seeking out each other's weaknesses. Apart from one scene near the beginning, the sex is not overly graphic. Often it's more suggested than actual, but it still somehow makes you feel complicit. A friend of mine has read it in French, and I do believe this novel has a kind of European sensibility. Very sophisticated, very knowing. It's not a "nice" book, but it's a very good book, and I can recommend it very highly.
