PBR Review: (by- Linda - Mar 2018)
This story explores adultery and the concept of consent, which as the book points out, is not always clear-cut. It will cause you to reflect on not just the sexual relationships between men and women, but also the overall balance of power between the sexes and the shifting of this power. In this respect, it's a timely story. James, who has a top job with the British government, a beautiful wife and family, is accused of raping his assistant, a young woman he admits to having a five-month-long affair with. This is a compelling character-driven courtroom drama, but more than that- it looks at marriage, boundaries, and changing love. Recommend for those that like a good mystery or courtroom suspense stories. |
