Learner's "The Witch of Cologne" is an erotically-charged novel of
people swept inexorably along by events they could not control. In
"Soul," Learner relates the story of Lavinia and Julia Huntington,
passionate women trapped in emotional whirlpools that threaten to
drown them and everyone they love.
In 19th century Britain, Lavinia is married to an older man who
seems to appreciate her lively curiosity. Lavinia proves to be an
apt pupil in both the study and the bedroom, glorying in the
pleasures of the physical.
In 21st century Los Angeles, geneticist Julia is trying to
identify people who can kill without remorse. Stunned to discover
that she seems to possess the trait she is looking for, Julia is
reassured of her emotions by her intense passion for her husband
and her delight in her pregnancy.
In the past, Lavinia's desire for her husband grows, but his
cools as he becomes fascinated with another. In the present,
Julia's love overwhelms her husband, who leaves her.
Lavinia and Julia feel the tortures of passion unspent. Cold
logic tells them that the deaths of their tormentors will bring
them peace. Separated by a hundred years, two Huntington women face
the same decision. Their choices will echo far into the future.
