Riassunto

Lost, anxious, and adrift, Claire Vornoff heads for the country to seek the care of Declan Farrell, an iconoclastic practitioner of alternative medicine, as her growing attachment to Farrell soon begins to deepen into obsession, in an erotically charged novel that captures the nature of obsession, the challenges of contemporary urban life, and the ambiguity of love. A first novel.

"Unflinching, perplexing, the novel is written in the wonderfully wry, lucid language that distinguishes Harvor's fiction."--The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

PRAISE FOR LET ME BE THE ONE

"Astounding, pitch-perfect stories."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
