My Juliet

A Novel

Edición de la obra My Juliet

"My Juliet tells the story of a struggling artist, Sonny LaMott, and his obsessive love for Juliet Beauvais, who is Thanatos and Eros all balled up into one nasty, irresistable package. Juliet returns to New Orleans after her years as an "actress" in California, thinking that her mother is about to die and that she will inherit the family mansion. But Juliet discovers she's been tricked by her mother, so this most fatale of femmes seeks out the damaged Sonny, who still can't resist her fifteen years after she crushed his heart. With ease, Juliet seduces him anew, nefarious purposes in mind.". "Juliet is an unforgettable character, and the prose and dialogue drip with New Orleans atmosphere. The gothic elements - graveyards, kinky debauchery, decay, melodrama - are rendered, yet the author's sense of humor and pity for his characters make it all vibrant and original. Bradley excels at stretching out an impending sense of doom that hovers over all the players, creating a tension out of our expectation of the worst yet to come."--BOOK JACKET.
