About this audiobook
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
'Erotically charged... this intimate and ultimately moving analysis of desire and the long-term legacy of betrayal deserves to be read: completely absorbing'
DAILY MAIL
'An absolute scorcher'
EVENING STANDARD
'A gripping novel exploring the tensions in an apparently idyllic marriage'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'Devotion thrilled me (I read it in one sitting), made me think, and moved me deeply. It manages to be as deep as any literature, and as irresistible as any gossip'
JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER
'Missiroli cuts right through to the darkness of our inner lives'
ROBERTO SAVIANO
Carlo and Margherita: a happily married couple in their mid-thirties. They are in love, but they also harbour desires that stray beyond the confines of their bedroom: Carlo longs for the quiet beauty of one of his students, Sofia; Margherita fantasises about her physiotherapist, Andrea.
Love, with its unassuming power, ultimately pulls them from the brink, but after eight years of repressed desires and the birth of a son, when the past resurfaces in the form of books sent anonymously, will love be enough to save them?
