Bu sesli kitap hakkında
A simmering, provocative novel about a couple whose affair with a young Greek woman over the course of a summer in Athens threatens to crack their relationship wide open.
At a crossroads in their lives, a couple arrives in Greece to house-sit for a friend. Emma is searching for a meaningful next step beyond work or motherhood, and Julian is struggling to come to terms with the failure of his academic career. Their visions for the future seem to be pulling them in different directions, and they hope that this summer away will help them to mend their frayed connection.
But Emma and Julian’s plans take an unexpected turn when they meet Lena, an enigmatic young Greek woman, who presents an opportunity for them to explore their relationship in uncharted and excitingly risky ways. However, as sultry nights turn to oppressive days, Emma and Julian become far more entangled in Lena’s life than they’d bargained for. Engaged in a struggle for control, the three of them are suddenly faced with consequences far greater—and far more explosive—than they could have predicted.
Voyeuristic and thrilling, Ruins delivers the drama of a modern Greek tragedy as it exposes the tensions between privilege and power, desire and intimacy.
