Unforgivable Love

Page 42

by Sophfronia Scott


  —Christine Sneed, author of The Virginity of Famous Men and Little Known Facts

  “Unforgivable Love is lyrical and lush, enchanting and energetic. With botttomless empathy and loving attention to detail, Sophfronia Scott embraces a classic and makes it her own.”

  —Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow and An American Marriage

  “Unforgivable Love is vibrant, thoughtful, and very sexy. It sneaks up on you and once you are under its spell, it won’t let go.”

  —Martha Southgate, author of The Fall of Rome

  “Why do the worst people always seem to win? In this remarkable retelling of the French classic Les Liasions Dangereuses, Sophfronia Scott brings scandal, manipulation, and perverse desire to (barely) postwar America. Never have I rooted against a protagonist so fervently, all the while taking secret pleasure in the subversion of virtue. But wait. Who really wins here? Beautifully written, sumptuously atmospheric, fearless in its cultural appropriation, Unforgivable Love is surely the breakout book for this thrilling new voice.”

  —Bill Roorbach, award-winning author of Life Among Giants and The Girl of the Lake
