Description

Lolita meets Story of O, another memorable tale of love, sex and feelings from 'the King of the erotic thriller' When Ekaterina meets Alexander a shockingly sexy but tender romance develops. She is a young Italian trainee journalist, who dreams of wild sexual adventures. He is the older Englishman who she believes can fulfill her fantasies. When Ekaterina is sent to interview the ageing writer Alexander in London, she is blinded by his charm and experience. Their relationship explodes in a sensual orgy, which defies society's acceptance. When a mysterious angel of death who calls herself Emma enters their lives, Ekaterina and Alexander know their days together are numbered. A shocking climax set in Venice in winter brings the three protagonists together. A tale of sex and tenderness that ranks alongside Jakubowski classic The State of Montana.

Reviews

The sex is sumptuously explosive with no detail left out, the timeline exquisitely orchestrated, and the addition of the ethereal Emma keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Miz Love and Crew Love Books "Will you tell other women stories about me when we are over?" she asked Alexander. He wanted to be truthful and say no, but already she knew him too well. He was who he was, and aware that the temptation would be too strong not to talk about her, to improvise tales of beauty and fury, of lust and longing, songs of adoration and missing. This self-referential quotation encapsulates Maxim Jakubowski's latest novel - a book of tales about women, lust, love, and loss. Although ostensibly focused on the relationship between Alexander, an introspective British author, and Ekaterina, a wild-hearted Italian journalist decades his junior, Ekaterina and the Night spends at least half its time tracing these two characters' travels through the lives of other lovers and sex partners, before and after their brief, intense connection.
