Klappentext 'Does something exceptional . . . Sometimes it's erotic, sometimes it's devastating' New York Times Mallory sees the woman for the first time at her college gym and is immediately transfixed. Naturally reserved and reeling from the loss of her mother, Mallory finds herself compelled by the woman's assurance and sophistication, and longs to know her better. Despite the discovery that she is a professor at the college, she quickly falls into a complicated, all-consuming love affair with the woman, retreating from the rest of the world. In the years that follow, Mallory must come to terms with how the relationship shaped her, for better or worse, and learn to take back the life that she sacrificed for the sake of a woman she never truly knew.
