The Cheek Perforation Dance

The Cheek Perforation Dance

by SeanThomas (Author)

Synopsis

A dark, compelling tale of sex, guilt and morality, exploring the complexity of date rape, from the author of Kissing England A He Said/She Said novel about date-rape, that tells the dramatic story of a compulsive, obsessive, profoundly carnal love affair between a rich North London princess and a bolshy Anglo-Irishman: a love affair that somehow ends up in the gladiatorial arena of court number 18, the Old Bailey. But it isn't just a courtroom drama, nor is it just a highly sexed love story. In its examination of rape and the issue of rape, at the contemporary lynch law we apply to love and lust, it offers a startling new look at the savage and eternal war between the sexes. As boy and girl fight with the guilt of their own longings, The Cheek Perforation Dance becomes a startlingly honest, often unsettling examination of a very modern romance.

Media Reviews
'Shamefully compelling.This strange courtship dance is convincingly drawn, and questions of blame and guilt become interestingly blurred. Best of all are Thomas's courtroom scenes, which perfectly pinpoint the mix of boredom and terror that surrounds any day in the witness box.' Independent For Kissing England 'To say this is elegantly written would be an understatement; the unique essence of England, and being English, is captured perfectly. Imbued with a delicate blend of humour and irony, Kissing England evokes as many personal memories as the onesit creates.' Time Out 'Wry, dry, it's White City Blue meets Brideshead Revisited.'
