Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 273 pages. Ivor Tesham is a handsome, single, young member of Parliament whose political star is on the rise. When he meets a woman in a chance encounter-a beautiful, leggy, married woman nam ed Hebe-the two become lovers obsessed with their trysts, spiced up by what the newspapers like to call adventure sex. It's the dr ess-up and role-play that inspire Ivor to create a surprise birth day present for his beloved that involves a curb side kidnapping. It's all intended as mock-dangerous foreplay, but then things ta ke a dark turn. After things go horribly wrong, Ivor begins to r eceive anonymous letters that reveal astonishingly speci?c detail s about the affair and its aftermath. Somehow he must keep his ro le from being uncovered-and his political future from being destr oyed by scandal. Like a heretic on the inquisitor's rack, Ivor is not to be spared the exquisitely slow and tortuous unfolding of events, as hints, nuances, and small revelations lay his darkest secrets hideously bare for all the world to see. The Birthday Pre sent is a deft, insightful, and compulsively readable exploration of obsessive desire-and the dark twists of fate that can shake t he lives of even those most insulated by privilege, sophisticatio n, and power.
