Hattie Williams: Bitter Sweet, Gebunden

Klappentext

When a young book publicist finds herself in an all-consuming workplace affair with her literary idol, she learns that the things you love most can sometimes be the very things that tear you apart in this intoxicating and moving debut novel.

Sometimes the things you love most are the very things that can tear you apart.
Charlie is twenty-three, single and the new publicity assistant at London's preeminent independent book publishing house. Richard Aveling is fifty-six, married and the author who has defined his generation.
Charlie has long idolized the charming, illustrious writer, who also represents a link to her late mother who loved his work. But as they embark on an illicit and all-consuming affair, Charlie is forced to hide the relationship from everyone she cares about.
Too soon, she can't imagine her life without Richard, and too late, she understands that losing him will unravel more than just their relationship--it might also unravel her.
Tender and poignant, Bitter Sweet is an intimate exploration of power, of vulnerability, of what it means to love another person and what it means to love yourself.
