Smart and gripping
Among the hottest books of this blazing summer
Accomplished, timely and unusually well-wrought
Zinovieff handles this difficult subject withcontrol, insight, wisdom and sympathy. For anyone who came of age in that era, this can be an uncomfortable read, as well as an utterly fascinating one. I think it'sthe best novel of 2018, by far
Sofka Zinovieff writes about this moral minefield with the necessary sensitivity,inhabiting her characters so convincingly that the conclusion is all the more chilling
Delves deep into the discussions surrounding consent and abuse of power.Zinovieff has written a contemporaryLolitain which the rules of engagement have changed, women are speaking out about the ways they have been misused and the Humbert Humberts face prosecution and disgrace . Zinovieff is skilled at evoking the shifting moral and social terrain ...Richly drawn and convincingly realised
This superb novel from the highly regarded Zinovieff dissects every moral ambiguity... Zinovieff twists the reader's sympathy to and fro, until the final revelation. Over and above the central subject, this is a finely nuanced study of the way different people make subjective sense of the past, anda reminder that the novel (like the analyst's couch) is a great space for thinking about the unthinkable
Zinovieff's dark and disturbing novel delicately probes the lines between abuse and consent in this atmospheric, intelligent and ambiguous story
Unputdownable: a modern classic
A disturbing, well-structured, nuanced story that provides no simple answers -an important addition to an urgent, current conversation
Involving, beautifully written, and subtle. There are terribly difficult questions here, dealt with sensitively and intelligently
Lolitafor the age of #MeToo... Itdelves deep into the discussions surrounding consent and abuse of power. Zinovieff is skilled at evoking the shifting moral and social terrain while never letting us forget that none of that can be an excuse . the two main players arerichly drawn, the strange, sad bond that exists between them convincingly realised
I read this greedily over the course of a day... On obsession, abuse and atonement via three memory threads with complex and provocative consequences. Apowerful - and timely - examination of desire and permission, innocence versus experience."All children liked secrets, didn't they..?"
Zinovieff writes with poise and sophistication
The ultimate taboo brought to life in a way that's thrillingly disturbing and evocative.I couldn't leave it
This is a really important book. I loved it.Thought provoking, emotionally complex, and tackling the topic of the day - the blurred area between consent and abuse
This book is truly memorable and thought-provoking;throughout, Zinovieff sustains wonderfully perplexing and complex ambiguities. What is love, and what is exploitation? What is truth and what is self-deception? What is righteousness and what is hypocrisy? Can contradictions be simultaneously true?It's a great story and a riveting read. I'll remember the characters forever
I read it at one go, unable to put it down, until 2am ...It's remarkable, a brilliant novel, jolting and shocking and right
Superb ... It is really something.Zinovieff treats the tricky subject with admirable dispassion
I read this novel with huge enjoyment .It is a terrific novel and I look forward to reading it many more times
The reader is as deftly manipulated as the child.Pacy and illuminating

Textul de pe ultima copertă
A provocative and absorbing novel about a teenage girl’s intoxicating romance with a powerful older man, and her discovery, decades later, that her happy memories are hiding a painful truth
A rising star in the London arts scene of the early 1970s, gifted composer Ralph Boyd is approached by renowned novelist Edmund Greenslay to score a stage adaptation of his most famous work. Welcomed into Greenslay’s sprawling bohemian house in Putney, an artistic and prosperous district in southwest London, the musical wunderkind is introduced to Greenslay’s beautiful activist wife, Ellie; his aloof son, Theo; and his young daughter, Daphne, who quickly becomes Ralph’s muse.
Ralph showers Daphne with tokens of his affection—clandestine gifts and secret notes. In a home that is exciting but often lonely, Daphne finds Ralph to be a dazzling companion for many years. When Ralph accompanies Daphne alone to meet her parents in Greece, their relationship intensifies irrevocably. One person knows the truth about their relationship: Daphne’s best friend, Jane, whose awe of the mesmerizing Greenslay family ensures her silence.
Decades later, Daphne is back in London. After years lost to decadence and drug abuse, she is struggling to create a normal, stable life for herself and her adolescent daughter. When circumstances bring her
back in touch with her long-lost friend, Jane, their reunion inevitably turns to Ralph, now a world-famous musician also living in the city. Daphne’s recollections of her youth and her growing anxiety over her own young daughter eventually lead to an explosive realization that propels her to confront Ralph and their years spent together.
Masterfully told from three diverse viewpoints—victim, perpetrator, and witness—Putney is a subtle and enormously powerful novel about consent, agency, and what we tell ourselves to justify what we do and what others do to us.
