About this title

From the Back Cover:

Damage: 'Damage is a masterpiece.' Washington Post

'Damage is really a poem... Lorca says that 'the poem that pierces the heart like a knife has yet to be written', but I felt that kind of knife dangling somewhere in Damage' - Ted Hughes

Sin: 'A compelling, literary and sinister tale filtered through a sophisticated intelligence' Eileen Battersby, Irish Times

'As in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, innocence and virtue are cruelly and deliberately betrayed, as the reader looks on with mingled shock and fascination... a tour de force.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Oblivion: 'Josephine Hart, whose two earlier novels have already established her as one of our most imaginative and poetic novelists, has produced here a strange but compelling meditation on grief, loss, and the curious nature of love.' Sunday Telegraph
