About this title

Review:

"A universal story of pain, loss, and the continuous need for love. . . . Dawesar's erotic prose jumps off the page like a dancer in flight." --Chicago Sun-Times"The characters in Dawesar's charmingly oddball novel care so passionately about art that it literally turns them on. . . . sharp intellectual back-and-forth drives both this unlikely romance and Dawesar's quirky novel." --Entertainment Weekly"A provocative tale of love and the literature it inspires . . . Dawesar's third novel is a contemplative, sensual, and literary mélange." --Booklist
