"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"
