This is not your regular girl-meets-boy and all live well and happy. Brooklyn author Isobel Wohl’s debut novel is a scorching account of taboo love and holds up a mirror to those who bank on traditional values as being the be and all in modern relationships.
With her life now in disarray, Lydia faces a future “in which nothing is secure. When she reconnects with Tom’s teenage son Caleb, all three lives are recast in shocking and devastating ways”.
Wohl’s caustic, humorous prose knows all to well that its waving a a stick at a hornets’ nest, even so, as Lydia’s choices jumble and jostle for moral judgment, Wohl raises a middle-finger to those that profess to know and preach love, the author poses pertinent questions on how we should and how we want to live.
