Beautiful…steamy…it’s a spectacular debut - Adriana TrigianiSultry - IndependentDarkly addictive - ExpressSumptuous - StylistExciting, passionate and beautifully vivid - RedBrilliantly atmospheric - HeatI fell completely under the spell of Anton DiSclafani’s amazing first novel and was gripped by its lush and dreamy evocations of Southern decorum, family secrets, and boarding school rituals. DiSclafani is wildly talented, and this is a sexy, suspenseful, gorgeously written book - Curtis SittenfeldAbout The Author
