'This book is a deep, sensual plunge, a worship of the body, inside and out' The Times
In a quiet English suburb, a love affair ignites. For our nameless narrator, Louise is the last in a long line of explosive passions, but the first to have broken their heart. With Louise's husband, Elgin, blocking love's course, their affair is doomed to unravel - until, that is, a terrible choice must be made.
With its witty and masterful prose, Written on the Body takes the reader on a beguiling and defying exploration of love and its physical forms.

Es wird immer nur um den heißen Brei herumgeredet… effektiv passiert hier (fast) gar nichts. Wurde überhaupt einmal der Name des Erzählers erwähnt? Also wenn ja, kann man sich nicht dran erinnern. Und das Ende? Was soll das denn jetzt sein? Spoiler: erstmal ist er gefühlte 100 Seiten mit der Bahn unterwegs, dann zu Fuß. Und am Ende weiß man nicht wo Louise hin ist, ob sie lebendig oder am Krebs gestorben ist… und „er“ sitzt mit Gail - die er verabscheut aber zum Katze füttern und Wohnung aufheizen gut genug war - in seiner Bude, 3 Minuten vorher wollte er noch Schluss machen … wow. Nein danke.
