With the dark suspense of Donna Tartt's The Secret History and the frank and shocking eroticism of Josephine Hart, this debut novel tells the story of a young teacher's illicit affair and obsession with a historical murder. Tasmanian schoolteacher Kate Byrne is having an affair with the father of her most gifted fourth grader, Lucien. Her lover's wife has just published Murder at Black Swan Point, a true-crime story about the brutal slaying of a young adulteress in a nearby town. Kate herself has become so obsessed with the murder and so convinced that the published account has it all wrong that she sets about writing her own version--this one for children, narrated by Australian animals. Though Lucien's father brings Kate to life sexually in encounters of escalating eroticism, he cannot dull her obsession. Fixated on the crime of passion, Kate is becoming less and less aware of the present and of how her behavior may align her fate with that of the dead girl. Chloe Hooper chillingly captures this young woman's unraveling in an intense, witty, superbly crafted novel.Binding Type: Paperback

Well worth it
Color: Black & Grey, Size: Large
Great fit and not too hot. I really like these socks. They are comfortable, keep my feet warm without overheating them and the material is holding up well. The colors are true and they are not too thick that my shoes fit tight.

Socks
Color: Blue & Green, Size: Medium
They are about what I expected for the price. Nice and warm, but they pill a lot and sit higher on my ankle than I'd like. Very cozy and comfy though. Great around the house, not really great for hiking though. Kinda thin after a few uses outdoors. Washable but not very durable.
