A stunning new novel of innocence corrupted from the award-winning author of 'The Rice Mother'.
The Balinese twins – Beautiful and exotic, they exchange an island paradise for the shabby squalor of London, and innocence for corruption. The Sicilian- Ricky Delgado strikes a devil's bargain with a blood goddess: ‘Build my temple and bring me the souls of damaged people, and you will see what rewards I give' The Courtesan – Elizabeth makes her living from men's desire. With a flick of the switch in her head, she feels nothing: no pain, no hate, no sorrow, no joy. The Artist – Anis takes to painting as an outlet for his rage. His artist's eye knows his subjects before they know themselves, and he paints them all, a gallery of broken people. Can they escape the deadly web of decadence and sin?
