Book description
Though she wounded me beyond pain, I too inflicted deep hurt. Not born
to murder her, still I sought to break her... Her name was Elizabeth
Ashbridge. And I even envied her that.' Sin is about a woman possessed
by an obsessive envy, a woman who will stop at nothing to get what she
wants. Sin, from the author of the bestselling Damage, now takes its
proper place as a Virago Modern Classic. 'Stripped down to a single,
inexorable storyline that centres on the destructive power of passion.
As in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, innocence and virtue are cruelly and
deliberately betrayed, as the reader looks on with mingled shock and
fascination... a tour de force' New York Times Josephine Hart
(1942-2011) was the bestselling author of Damage, Sin, Oblivion and The
Reconstructionist. She was a Director of Haymarket Publishing and
founded Gallery Poets before going on to produce a number of West End
plays. As well writing novels, she was a 'poetry evangelist' and her
Josephine Hart Poetry Hour at the British Library inspired two edited
poetry books: Catching Life By the Throat and Words that Burn. She was
married to Maurice Saatchi and had two sons.
