Attraction

Attraction is a novel of passion, fate, and the unpredictability that lies at the heart of all our lives. Jack Prentis Stone cannot believe his luck as he poses naked in the college bedroom of the girl he has long admired from afar. From the moment Anne-Marie sets up her brushes and easel, their lives become deeply and deliriously entwined.

But whatever Jack imagined of their future together, it was certainly not this: Three years after their wedding, he sits in a police interview room in France being asked whether he loves his wife. This question, and the spiral of deception, violence, and devotion that lead to it, force Jack to unravel the story of his marriage.

What Jack relates to the French policeman is part love story, part murder mystery, and always utterly enthralling. Written with remarkable insight and assurance, Attraction marks the debut of a stunning new literary voice.
