NOW A MAJOR MOTION FILM CALLED TRUE THINGS
From their first encounter, late one night in an underground car park, the narrator of True Things About Me is intoxicated by a stranger who seems to overwhelm her quiet life. But beneath the surface something takes hold that will drive her to extremes of pleasure - and finally, on a cold and eerie night to face up to her fate.
“Brutal, funny … One of those rare novels that is genuinely about sex, in all its irrationality and potential for self-destruction”
