Review
A fine alternative for those frustrated by the anodyne S&M relationship in Fifty Shades of Grey . . . not only an unsettling portrait of psycho-sexual entanglement but also an exquisite love story (Independent)
A haunting, powerfully fascinating work of bold, desolate honesty. Terrible, believeable, inexorable (New Statesman)
Remarkable and unusual, memorable and unsettling (Daily Telegraph)
Reading Gordon is a chilling experience. The power of the novel lies in its determination to present a relationship that still inhabits the realm of the taboo (Sunday Herald)
Fascinating, spellbinding (Candia McWilliam Evening Standard)
A compelling story which offers no easy conclusions and deserves a significant place in the history of women's writing (Observer)
About the Author
Edith Templeton was born in Prague in 1916 and spent much of her childhood in a castle in the Bohemian countryside. She was educated at a French lycée in Prague and left that city in 1938 to marry an Englishman. During her years in Britain, she worked in the Office of the Chief Surgeon for the United States Army in Cheltenham and then became a captain in the British Army, working as a high-level conference interpreter. Her short stories began to appear in The New Yorker in the fifties, and over the next several decades she published a number of novels, as well as a popular travel book, The Surprise of Cremona, in the United Kingdom.
Mrs. Templeton left England in 1956 to live in India with her second husband, a noted cardiologist and the physician to the King of Nepal. She has since lived in various parts of Europe, and now makes her home in Bordighera, on the coast of Italy.
