As an acclaimed novelist, Miles Fanning has grown accustomed to the attentions of fawning admirers. Yet little prepares him for the determination of the gauche Pamela Tarn, who resolves to enter not only his world, but also his bed. Initially repelled by the enormity of the age gap between them, Fanning vows never to acquiesce, and resorts to his most boorish behaviour in an attempt to break his hold on her. Yet as they are drawn inexorably together, they embark upon a tempestuous – and ultimately destructive – love affair. This satirical novella sees the author of Brave New World turning his characteristic humour and keen observation to the dual notions of obsession and control.
