Riassunto

Jasper Ulrickson, beloved memoirist and crime novelist, is a good and decent man-devoted husband to his paralysed wife and loving father to their four-year-old child. Despite their challenges, the Ulricksons are happy. Then Jasper learns of the daughter he fathered eighteen years earlier, a beautiful young woman named Chloe, whose mother recently passed away. She needs her father and so Jasper welcomes her into his family and their home. Celibacy, sexual denial and marital fidelity are the traits for which Jasper has been celebrated by fans the world over. But he now learns-to his horror-that these traits have never been truly tested. That a man could feel such unnatural, horrible urges is unthinkable to Jasper. But then, Jasper does not know all of Chloe's story...A risk-taking, controversial and courageous novel, Undone is an unforgettable thriller-cum-satire which will be relished by fans of Michel Houellebecq, John Niven and Patricia Highsmith.
