Biography of Desire
Mary Dorcey
“From the first moment I saw you, I knew my life was changed. As you strode away from me down the hospital corridor with your loose careless walk, entirely unconscious of me, absorbed in conversation with your friends, I recognised a crossroads cut clear across my path. Cut between past and future.”
The novel explores the conflicting, ambivalent currents of loyalty and desire through the lives of two women: Katherine, a married woman and mother of two children and Nina, whom she meets on e night, by chance, in the casualty ward of a city hospital.
Biography of Desire is a lyrical meditation on the nature of sexual identity. It is above all, a love stort, intense, erotic, haunting.
