JULIA'S BOOK BLOG

"It was some time before he continued, then I learnt all that the past three months had meant to him. It was a complex, chaotic confession, full of repetitions, a strange mixture of self-pity and bitter denunciation, I was amazed by the intensity of the inner drama which was making his life an impossibility. Pauline had awakened everything which he had believed was dead in him; Francesca had made him a stranger to himself, for under her influence he had become aware of passions and desires of which he had been ignorant, and of which he was afraid."
