Set in England, Boston, and the Caribbean, this Pinteresque, artfully crafted story describes a relationship between Justine, a young dancer, and Roy, her philosophy teacher at Oxford. It is a story of love and sex, pain and intellect, and ultimate redemption. The story is narrated bu Justine, who chronicles her own awakening from disciple to equal, from blind yet innocent masochism to full personhood, from student/lover/wife to emancipation from Roy a tormented, though brilliant man, obsessed with the question of free will and his own intense, yet twisted sexuality.Ultimately, this first novel describes a spiritual journey which leads Justine and Roy beyond pleasure, beyond renunciation, to a transcendent knowledge of the deepest meanings of love and loyalty.
