Beskrivning

In an elite New England college, Professor Steven Brookman embarks upon a careless affair with a brilliant but reckless student, Maud Stack. She is a young woman whose passions are not easily contained or curtailed, and is known as something of a firebrand on campus. As the stakes of their relationship prove higher than either one could have anticipated, their union seems destined to yield tragic and far-reaching consequences.

Recensioner i media

Robert Stone’s fast-paced new novel. . . takes as its presiding muse not Conrad or Graham Greene, but Nathaniel Hawthorne. . . His gift for orchestrating suspense and dramatic scenes — so vividly on display in “Damascus Gate,” his 1998 novel set in Jerusalem and Gaza — is deployed here with efficiency and élan. As is his talent for charting his characters’ psychological and spiritual longings. . . . The result is at once a Hawthorne-like allegory and a sure-footed psychological thriller.
