From the back cover: "Here is the incredible story of an imprisoned pedophile who is drawn into an erotically charged correspondence with a nineteen-year-old suburban co-ed. As the two reveal-and revel in-their obsessive desires, Homes creates a novel that is part romance, part horror story, at once unnerving, repellent, and seductive."
This is one of the most shocking books I've ever read. It's beautifully written-but please beware-you'll have the wind knocked out of you.
