Paperback. Condizione: Good. Four couples. One sultry summer. Too many secrets. In this sizzling, suspenseful debut, the lives of four women in their late thirties converge one summer on the wealthy Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Meet Allison, Kate, Carla and Brooke. One of them is harboring a devastating secret. One person in their group won't make it to summer's end alive. And one among them might very well be a killer. Carla and Lawrence Rossi think they've landed in paradise when they move into their summer home in Cisco Beach and immediately bond with the fun, beautiful couple next door. Little do the newcomers know their neighbors, Allison and Marc, are part of an exclusive, invitation-only underground social set-and they're already looking to recruit the Rossis.Socialite Kate, Allison's best-friend-turned-frenemy, is a full-time resident of Nantucket. She has the veneer of an upscale real-estate agent who married into one of the island's wealthiest families, but Kate is also the ringleader of their exclusive swinging club, and she's green with jealousy over the new sexy couple who's captured Allison's attention. In the meantime, Kate and her husband, Jon, have their sights set on conquests of their own this summer: Brooke, who's grieving a terrible loss, and her charming financier husband Kevin. Sexy, suspenseful, naughty and gripping, The Cliff explores what happens outside the sheets when monogamous couples risk upending their comfortable lives in search of excitement. As the four couples' lives barrel toward a dramatic conclusion, readers are treated to twists and revelations surrounding the baggage and complex relationships between the couples who venture into the swinging lifestyle.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Corsets, and the corseted body, have been fetishized, mythologized, romanticized. This Victorian icon has inspired more passionate debate than any other article of clothing. As a means of body modification, perhaps only foot binding and female genital mutilation have aroused more controversy. Summers provocative book dismantles many of the commonly held misconceptions about the corset. In examining the role of corsetry in the minds and lives of Victorian women, it focuses on how corsetry punished, regulated and sculpted the female form from childhood and adolescence through to pregnancy and even old age. The author reveals how the steels and bones, which damaged bodies and undermined mental health, were a crucial element in constructing middle-class women as psychologically submissive subjects. Underlying this compelling discussion are issues surrounding the development and expression of juvenile and adult sexuality. While maintaining that the corset was the perfect vehicle through which to police femininity, the author unpacks the myriad ways in which women consciously resisted its restrictions and reveals the hidden, macabre romance of this potent Victorian symbol. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
