This story endeavours to explore the deep psychological roots and emotional rationale of incest.

This world is all nonsense. How long must I endure it' {Morgan Le Fay. le Morte d'Arthur] Thomas Mallory.Before you begin any journey, there is always a decision to be made. You must be prepared to accept the consequences of that decision whatever they are. To read a book is a journey, from which you will return as someone who has changed, only slightly, almost imperceptibly even to those who know you well. But, there will be a change from how you were before you began the journey. A book can inspire you to do those things you have not but should have - or transport you to places where you thought you would never go and conjugate disparate thoughts about things you never dared think about before. I found this to be a tender and considered examination of the psychological roots and emotional impact of incest. A compelling read from beginning to end. New York Examiner. 2015
