THE
SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Vienna, 1913. Lysander Rief, a young English
actor, sits in the waiting room of the city's preeminent psychiatrist as he
anxiously ponders the particularly intimate nature of his neurosis. When the
enigmatic, intensely beautiful Hettie Bull walks in, Lysander is immediately
drawn to her, unaware of how destructive the consequences of their subsequent
affair will be. One year later, home in London, Lysander finds himself entangled

Cecilia
is obsessively in love with her teacher, the older, married Mr. Dahl. She plots
and speculates, yet she never guesses that what she dreams of could actually
happen. Is it her imagination, or is the high-minded Mr. Dahl responding to her?
An affair with a teacher is every girl’s fantasy, but what are the
consequences?
A
stunning story of sex, memory and family lies, by Joanna
Briscoe.
The
Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides - (2
In
Brief
The
Virgin Suicides
tells the story of the five Lisbon sisters and the effects of their suicides on
their small suburban community. Jeffrey Eugenides explores the heady territory
of adolescent sexuality through the collective narrative voice of the young
boys, now men, who fell under the sisters’ spell. As they look back with a
mixture of humour, melancholy and wistful yearning they remain haunted by
questions still unanswered
