weird and wonderful, though, as I find with other Dunant books, the end is a bit of a cop-out. ( )

Transgressions is such a deeply unsettling novel, it has completely revised my opinion of the author. I discovered her novels with Mapping the Edge,( 1999) when it was first published, and I went on to read her historical novels and reviewed them on this blog: The Birth of Venus, (2003); In the Company of the Courtesan, 2006, and Sacred Hearts, (2009). I enjoyed them as light fiction with a feminist slant on women’s choices during the Renaissance.

But Transgressions (1997) is a most unpleasant book. I can’t discuss it without spoilers.

After a 7 year relationship breaks up, Eliza starts to find things going missing. Gradually she realises she is being stalked and starts on her own personal battle for survival.
Shocking in places, with some very explicit sex scenes, this brilliant psychological thriller had me engrossed. ( )

So creepy! ( )

Promising start, silly and unbelieveable middle, predictable ending. ( )
