'Enthralling, compelling and gripping' Mail on Sunday

Timoteo- high-flying career as a surgeon, beautiful wife, luxurious apartment, villa by the sea - he seems the epitome of success and glamour. But then his daughter has an accident and is rushed to the hospital in a coma. A colleague operates on her, and while the agonised Timoteo awaits the outcome, he holds the reader in the vice-like grip of his confession. For, beneath the veneer of his apparently charmed life, there is a story of squalor, degradation, deceit and strange passion. The story of a doomed love affair with a woman who, from the moment Timoteo meets her, undermines everything he thought he knew about himself.

Mazzantini's chilling portrait of a supremely self-assured man losing control has taken readers by storm across the world. Highly atmospheric, subtly disturbing, this is a powerful and extraordinary novel.

Highly charged stuff-the writing is tense, taut and very graphic * Daily Telegraph * Like the ancient mariner, Timoteo's story grips you to the end * Daily Mail * A psychological study of passion, degradation and guilt...a powerful depiction of the struggle in human nature between the ephemeral quest for love and the quest for self-knowledge * Financial Times * A powerful, visceral and unforgettable story * Panorama * Exhilarating * New York Times *
