Similar to Lolita, yet more disturbing, this book is beautifully written but not for the faint of heart. "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 in--and revel in--their obsessive desires, Homes creates...a novel that is part romance, part horror story, at once unnerving, repellent, and seductive." (from the back cover)
