"You'll want to scream,
but you'll be gagged.
You'll want to cry,
but you'll be blindfolded.
You'll want to run away,
but you'll be tied up.
You'll have no way of begging me,
I'll do what I want with you."
"Submission," the controversial novel that, according to "The
Sunday Times" (London), "sent tremours through the French
establishment," is bound to leave American readers breathless.
Sexual obsession, domination, and dangerous desire drive the
story of Elodie, a young married Parisian lawyer who finds herself
swept up in a cycle of sadomasochistic lust.
A handsome stranger Elodie meets in court issues her a series of
instructions that she feels compelled to follow. He introduces her
to sex clubs hidden in dark alleys, toys that enhance physical
pleasure as well as pain, and couples whose appetites are as
voracious as his. What at first seems out of character for Elodie
-- she has a small child at home, after all -- quickly begins to
shape her self-identity. As the violence of their encounters
escalates, these acts become an addiction she can't bear. But how
far can Elodie go . . . and how much of her life will she risk in
the process?
This sophisticated and captivating novel exudes the sensuality
that only the French can deliver.
