In At The Deep End

Kate Davies

A deliciously disarming debut novel about aÿtwenty-somethingÿLondoner who discovers that she may have been looking for love?and pleasure?in all the wrong places (i.e., from men).

Julia has had enough. Enough of the sex noises her roommate makes. Enough of her dead-end government job. Enough of the one-night stand who accused her of breaking his penis. The only thing she hasn?t had enough of is orgasms; she hasn?t had proper sex in three years.

So when Julia gets invited to a warehouse party in a part of town where trendy people who have lots of sex go on a Friday night, she readily accepts. And that night she meets someone: a figurative artist who also happens to be a woman.

Julia?s sexual awakening begins; her new lesbian life is exhilarating. She finds her tribe atÿqueer swing-dancing classes, and guided by her new lover Sam, she soon discovers London?sÿgay bars and BDSM clubs?and the complexities of polyamory.ÿSoon it becomes clear that Sam needs to call the shots, and Julia?sÿnewfound liberation comes to bear a suspicious resemblance to entrapment . . .ÿ

In at the Deep Endÿis an unforgettable and audacious odyssey through the pitfalls and seductions we encounter on the treacherous path to love and self.ÿ
