Media Reviews
To read this tale of mutual obsession is like being abducted. Josephine Hart has managed to create a portrait of psychological and erotic obsession that is so compelling as, for a brief moment, to suck all the oxygen out of the air. -- Los Angeles Times A taut, sinister tale of erotic obsession. -- Vanity Fair Damage is a masterpiece. -- The Washington Post The violent dreamscape of Damage stayed with me long after I closed the book. Did I dream it? Did I live it? My very uncertainty tells me I have read something rare. --Erica Jong, author of Fear of Flying The effect is powerful: here is naked obsession, sulphurous, total, scarcely possible to live with. -- Financial Times
