THE LEMON GROVE

Book ID/图书代码： 03540013B61828

English Summary/英文概要： Set in the mountainous village of Deia which sits on the dramatic, East coast of Mallorca, The Lemon Grove is a novel about desire, infidelity and the politics of raising other people’s children. When Jenn, a woman in her 40s, falls under the spell of her step-daughter’s boyfriend - the enigmatic and reckless Nathan - she is forced to consider the importance of her marriage. The result is a highly charged and destructive affair that is both a meditation on sexual desire and the desirability of youth.

"A beautifully written and erotically charged tale of a reckless holiday affair between a married woman and her step-daughter’s teenage boyfriend. The Lemon Grove mines the dark territory of illicit desire with prose as sensual and sultry as its Mallorcan setting.Once you’ve started reading you won’t be able to stop." Fiona Neill
