A shocking yet beautiful first novel about a young woman’s sexual odyssey

The heroine of Never the Face has spent her life searching. Not for mere love, but for intensity. Just after her thirty-third birthday, she meets her old flame David. He’s married now, but he invites her to dinner. Then he says, “I spent the weekend choosing a stick to beat you with.”
 
She resists at first—embarrassed, bemused, strangely aroused—but soon surrenders to a degree of intimacy and pleasure she’d given up on ever finding. She discovers how, within a bond of trust, one may submit to a brutal lover in excruciatingly pleasurable ways.

In time, though, that trust unravels and the relationship becomes more violent, obsessive, extreme—and destructive.

Written in spare, savage prose, sexually explicit and often shocking, Never the Face suggests there are people we know, friends perhaps, who are on dark, erotic journeys they dare not confess to. It gives us a glimpse of exquisite, dangerous passions, but also the mental hell that can lie beneath the surface of ostensibly ordinary lives.
