Un ragazzo delicato cresciuto a Parigi, Jerome Palissier trascorre molte estati a casa di suo zio nella campagna della Normandia, dove il mondo intero sembra "immerso nell'azzurro". Lì si innamora profondamente della cugina Alissa e lei di lui. Ma gradualmente Alissa si convince che l'amore di Jerome per lei sta mettendo in pericolo la sua anima. Nell'interesse della sua salvezza, decide di sopprimere tutto ciò che è bello in lei, sia nella mente che nel corpo. Un'esplorazione devastante dell'estetismo portato all'estremo, Strait is the Gate è un romanzo di bellezza inquietante che stimola la mente e le emozioni.
