O tym produkcie

Product Information

From the author of the highly acclaimed A Child's Book of True Crime , "a brilliant, seductive, and unnerving first novel of sexual betrayal" ( O, The Oprah Magazine ), comes a dazzling, intense, and erotic second novel set in an isolated mansion in the country. Liese Campbell has an engagement for the weekend: to stay with Alexander Colquhoun, the handsome, well-mannered heir of an Australian pastoral dynasty, at his country seat some hours from Melbourne. Liese is English. She's come to Australia to work at her uncle's real-estate business and pay off her debts. Alexander has been looking for a place in the city. The luxury apartments Liese shows him have become sets for a relationship that satisfies their fantasies--and her financial problems. Both players understand the rules. Or so she thinks. Across the ancient landscape they drive at dusk to his grand decaying mansion. Here Liese senses a change in Alexander and realizes that a different game has begun. Chloe Hooper's riveting and provocative new novel is a psychological thriller for the modern age, an exploration of the snares of money and love and the dark side of erotic imagination. A trap has been set, but how and why? And for whom?

Reviews
To home in on the signs of the zeitgeist is the mark of a savvy writer. Even if unconscious, there's genius in nabbing a theme people have been gnawing away at deep in their collective psyches. Some writers, ahead of their time, are condemned to be appreciated posthumously. Others, hoping to cash in on a trend, can find themselves mired in cliché. But hitting the nail right on the head is a special gift. In this book Chloe Hopper displays it in spades . . . The Engagement is a psychological thriller . . . As well as creating an intriguing protagonist, Hooper writes with wit and aplomb., This beautifully crafted psychological thriller really got under my skin...Hooper's achievement is to make us frightened for Liese and, increasingly, frightened of her, too., The Cleveland Plain Dealer A stunning, literate debut that combines a taut story and a unique structure...It is Hooper's prowess and her keen grasp of human psychology that make the book so rewarding., A probing analysis of the psychology of sex...Hooper has constructed a modern fairy tale...compelling, at times disturbing., Hooper's writing is beautifully clean, clear and candid . . . The novel raises interesting questions about the psychology of desire and of memory., Chloe Hooper's second novel is a complex psychological thriller that draws on the rich literary history of madwomen in the attic, from Jane Eyre and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca ... The Engagement is shot through with a deeply erotic charge without being explicity pornographic. It's no Fifty Shades of Grey ; its kicks, and kicks in the teeth, are much more subtle., As in the best of Patricia Highsmith, it's not entirely clear whether a crime is being committed at all...it's a measure of the novel's quality that re-reading does not resolve everything but drives the ambiguities deeper... The Engagement reminds us of the powers of fiction., There is much to admire in The Engagement . . . a novel that is artfully and coldly controlled, one that is also disturbingly anti-erotic., Hooper has crafted a terrific tale full of dark corners and dead-ends that leave the reader wondering what to believe. The result is a creepy collision between a psychological thriller and a very dark romance that has something for fans of either genre., A deftly written, tonally smooth, technically adroit and penetrating study of psychological extremity. . . . Hooper shrouds the narrative in an uneasiness whose source is everywhere and nowhere simultaneously., As in the best of Patricia Highsmith, it's not entirely clear whether a crime is being committed at all…it's a measure of the novel's quality that re-reading does not resolve everything but drives the ambiguities deeper… The Engagement reminds us of the powers of fiction., This psychological thriller is a taut, unnerving read, and Hooper's exquisitely rendered settings are the perfect stage for the tissue-like layers of awakening between victim and controller., A probing analysis of the psychology of sex…Hooper has constructed a modern fairy tale…compelling, at times disturbing., A book of coercion and sexual games, fantasy and, yes, feminism, for those who prefer their erotic literature less Fifty Shades of Grey and more Jane Eyre ...This high-octane theatre is perversely satisfying, even as we succumb to its manipulation., A book of coercion and sexual games, fantasy and, yes, feminism, for those who prefer their erotic literature less Fifty Shades of Grey and more Jane Eyre …This high-octane theatre is perversely satisfying, even as we succumb to its manipulation., Jennifer Egan The New York Times Book Review A striking, ambitious first novel...Hooper forces open her material so that it resonates beyond itself, and she does this with...curiosity and instinctive grace., A suspense thriller that trips the reader up every time answers seem about to appear . . . A gripping read. This haunting story provokes questions long after the final page., As in the best of Patricia Highsmith, it's not entirely clear  whether a crime is being committed at all...it's a measure of the novel's quality that re-reading does not resolve everything but drives the ambiguities deeper... The Engagement reminds us of the powers of fiction., The Wall Street Journal Ironic, moving, full of keen perceptions and striking sentences...a tour de force., Chloe Hooper's second novel is a complex psychological thriller that draws on the rich literary history of madwomen in the attic, from Jane Eyre and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca … The Engagement is shot through with a deeply erotic charge without being explicity pornographic.
