A novel about obsession and possession, tracing the relationship of two infatuated lovers in all of its painful complications. As the object of Stephen's desire becomes promiscuous and wilful, he is forced to reflect on the grey area where the pleasure of a relationship ends, and pain begins.
'Kissing' is the story of the curious relationship shared by two twentysomethings: an illegitimate child-woman named Mina, and Stephen, the man obsessively in love with her. Occasionally explicit in language but subtle in its eroticism, it is an engrossing study of two people's growth, from youth to adulthood, together and apart from one another. A beautiful short novel that arouses as it draws blood; highly recommended.
