Nice little tales of obsessive, destructive affairs please...!

[sleepyted]

Have just read "Killing Me Softly" by Nicci French but also loved Anna Karenina. Can anyone recommend anything to indulge my little fantasies please?!

Just finished Dr. Zvivargo (excuse spelling please). Depressing as hell but excellent. The first part a bit of a slog but once they are on the train to siberia, it moves along. Not uplifting but if you want doomed love...it's your book!

Bink, it is excellent, isn't it? DH was utterly hooked.

You could always read my thread in chat under "private detective wanted".....

bink - you have convinced me!

How about Damage by Josephine Hart? Remember the film with Jeremy Irons?

I have read the book but not seen the film.

It's a load of tosh, really. Looks good, but there's loads of quite embarrassing sex, with Jeremy Irons (iyswim).

nothing natural by Jenny Diski

Have ordered a couple of these from Amazon - thanks for all the suggestions!!

Notes on a Scandal is odd, disturbing (on many levels; not just the obvious - the teacher shagging a pupil aspect) and completely unputdownably. I read it on holiday in one night.

Sobernow is right, Therese Raquin is a corker but it was by Emile Zola. If you liked Anna K you will LOVE this one.

Enduring Love, Ian McEwan is about obsessive love and all

les liaisons dangereuses.
I hope I've spelt it correctly!

Whats that book they made into a film where the dad is sleeping with his son's wife?
Think the man was played by Jeremy Irons and the woman's character name was Anna.

That was Damage - the one I mentioned, TeeCee. Where Jeremy Irons is a politician having an affair with his son's fiancee.

Sorry Jackie, I skimmed the thread to see if it had been mentioned but still missed your post, sorry.

No worries.

She Came to Stay - Simone de Beauvoir
She Did Not Leave - Fay Weldon

Loved the first, just started the second. Interested to know what you think.

Oops. That should have been "She MAY Not Leave"
