A revenger's tragedy of lust, cruelty and betrayal - the magnificent novel from Josephine Hart, reissued now as a Virago Modern Classic.
'Though she wounded me beyond pain, I too inflicted deep hurt. Not born to murder her, still I sought to break her... Her name was Elizabeth Ashbridge. And I even envied her that.'
Sin is about a woman possessed by an obsessive envy, a woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Sin, from the author of the bestselling Damage, now takes its proper place as a Virago Modern Classic.
'Stripped down to a single, inexorable storyline that centres on the destructive power of passion. As in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, innocence and virtue are cruelly and deliberately betrayed, as the reader looks on with mingled shock and fascination...a tour de force.' - New York Times.
Josephine Hart
Josephine Hart (1942-2011) was the bestselling author of Damage, Sin, Oblivion and The Reconstructionist. She was a Director of Haymarket Publishing and founded Gallery Poets before going on to produce a number of West End plays. As well writing novels, she was a 'poetry evangelist' and her Josephine Hart Poetry Hour at the British Library inspired two edited poetry books: Catching Life By the Throat and Words that Burn. She was married to Maurice Saatchi and had two sons.
