DAMAGE
Washington Post
Damage is a masterpiece
Iris Murdoch
A passionate, elegant, ruthless story.
Finanical Times
The effect is powerful: here is naked obsession, sulphorous, total,
scarcely possible to live with.
Erica Jong
The violent dreamscape of Damage stayed with me long after
I closed the book. Did I dream it? Did I live it? My very uncertainty
tells I have read something rare.
Los Angeles Times
To read this tale of mutual obsession is like being
abducted. Josephine Hart has managed to create a portrait of psychological
and erotic obsession that is so compelling as, for a brief moment, to suck
all the oxygen out of the air.
Independent on Sunday
A chilling, implacabe work of the erotic imagination
Ruth Rendell
A remarkable first novel of awesome accomplishment and quite startling
psychological insight.
Sunday Times
Genuinely frightening in its ruthless intensity, its sense of impending
disaster. It is quite impossible to put down.
Ted Hughes
Damage is really a poem...Lorca says somewhere that "the poem
that pierces the heart like a knife has yet to be written", but I
felt that kind of knife dangling somewhere in Damage. |
