I'm not sure I understood any of it. ( ) This book is hard to categorize. It is about love in many situations: love for doing something, infatuation, love in marriage, love for parents, love for children, love that turns to hate, etc. This is also about perceptions and how they color actions. This is also a book about obsession and addiction. If I had to pick one thing, I'd say obsession. It was a fast read for Ruth Rendell and compels you to do some self-reflection. A man falls under the spell of a mysterious woman, a marble statue, and a lover’s promise—and must confront his role in the violence and death that follow Meeting Senta, a woman who looks like a certain marble statue of the goddess Flora, is just about the most extraordinary thing that has happened to otherwise ordinary Philip, who dutifully cares for his mother and sisters in the London suburbs. But as their secret trysts evolve into an all-consuming passion, Philip learns that reality and fantasy cannot be easily separated in Senta’s mysterious, clouded world of secrets—and a deadly lover’s pact. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Philip Wardman had more than just the ordinary squeamishness where death was concerned. Yet he could hardly avoid the suspicious disappearance of his sister's friend Rebecca Neave, especially when everyone was ascribing the cause to murder. Philip's feminine ideal is the statue of the Roman goddess Flora in his mother's garden. His marble Flora doesn't fade, doesn't alter, doesn't die. But then he meets Senta Pelham, a beautiful, sensual, childlike actress who flagrantly disdains the morals of society and passionately desires the elusive Philip.
