Open Season Zusammenfassung

Open Season Cassie Werber

"A breathtaking novel that gets under the skin of the complexities of love, sex and human nature"-Katie Bishop, author of THE GIRLS OF SUMMER

"A perceptive book about intimacy and desire that feels zingy, original, fresh"-Chloe Ashby, author of SECOND SELF

"Tender, shimmering, elegant, and true... thoughtful and sensual, sexy and cerebral"-Laura Barnett, author of THE VERSIONS OF US

Every relationship has rules. What if they all changed?

Hura and Cillian have a happy, secure marriage and are on the brink of planning a family. But when Hura's teaching career gets derailed, they decide it's time to explore a fantasy: opening up their relationship.

Roses has never been monogamous. Her connection with elusive James-who works all hours as a junior doctor-is electric, and they're falling for each other. But both have secrets that make intimacy feel dangerous, and in a bid to reassert her independence, Roses suggests they sleep with other people.

When these two couples collide, life shifts on its axis and starts to spin out of control. As Roses and James fight to keep the past from overwhelming them, and Cillian and Hura test the limits of trust, they must all decide which lines to draw-and which to cross.

A passionate deconstruction of the complexities of sex, love, honesty and betrayal, OPEN SEASON marks Cassie Werber out as a major new talent.

Open Season Bewertungen

A breathtaking novel that gets under the skin of the complexities of love, sex and human nature. The writing seduces and sings, and the characters are devastatingly real. An astonishing debut. * Katie Bishop, author of THE GIRLS OF SUMMER *
A perceptive book about intimacy and desire that feels zingy, original, fresh. To read it is to tease out together with the characters the many ways of loving and living a life. * Chloe Ashby, author of WET PAINT *
I really loved this novel. It is tender, shimmering, elegant, and true. It paints a clear, lucid picture of a group of people trying to work out how to love and live in an honest, authentic way; how to balance freedom and autonomy; how to relate fully to another without compromising our sense of self. It is thoughtful and sensual, sexy and cerebral. The prose is beautifully honed, clear and precise. I felt totally caught up in the characters' lives and felt that the way you handled the narrative tension and kept the reader guessing about the characters' back stories and who wanted what from whom was expertly done." * Laura Barnett, author of THE VERSIONS OF US *
