Description
Short and strange, this is a story about a dark and depraved love triangle: Annabel lives with both her young, beautiful husband, Lee, and his demonic brother, Buzz.
Their cohabitation produces inescapable, dangerous emotional energy, contained within two rooms. Annabel is a fearful, ethereal artist entirely in her own world. Buzz is a ragged camera-wielding man of sharp intelligence and profound self-absorption. Lee is a simple boy who understands neither his wife nor his brother. He is also having an affair with another woman, a betrayal with the power to warp even further their dark and perverse love triangle...

Media Reviews
An excessively stylish tale about a fatal love triangle in provincial Bohemia..The novel and its afterword form a fascinating study, an erstwhile aesthetic object unravelled into realism and commitment * Guardian *
Carter observes her characters with a cool detachment as if they were specimens on a slide. She catches acutely the dying throes of the love generation, when Swinging London had run to seed * New Society *
Angela Carter has language at her fingertips * New Statesman *
Whatever her subject, Angela Carter writes like a dream - sometimes a nightmare * Sunday Telegraph *
