Praise for 'Rapture': 'Mesmerising.' Vogue 'Few novels capture so delicately the bittersweet ambiguities of love.' Esquire 'Susan Minot's third novel makes painfully honest reading for anyone who's ever fallen for the wrong man. Unsettling and beautifully written.' She 'Susan Minot is a precise and accomplished writer, and Rapture is a handsome artefact, combining fine attention to physical detail with a keen sense of the evasions and queasy half-truths of lust and attraction.' Sunday Telegraph 'Minot writes very well about the bad faith and special pleading that attend the break-up of an affair, and about the way that love can turn into obsession. The rigid formal constraints that she has imposed upon herself only sharpen the intensity of the writing.' The Times 'A brilliant new novel which strips bare the complexities of love ...A haunting tale of love lost which will leave a mark long after you've turned the page.' Glasgow Evening Times 'A brilliantly observed account of a doomed love affair. Witty and unusual.' Sunday Express, Read of the Week
