SYNOPSIS:The novel tells the story of the love affair between Jack Stoltz and Catherine Ramirez. A shy, intense and introspective man, his desire for her is strong and abrupt. She, his opposite, is wild, sensual and mercurial.
Theirs is an obsessive love, ardent and intense while dangerously self-destructive in its all-consuming design. When at last their love is realised, it exists as a delicate and fragile entity, constantly threatening to be consumed by its own intensity and their own deeply buried but explosive anxieties.
Jack's encounter with a destitute and desperate stranger - a man who believes there's no purpose in looking for love in a selfish, violent and hypocritical world - threatens to destroy not only Jack and Catherine's love for one another but their very identities.
