{"product_id":"rapture-9780375727887","title":"Rapture","description":"The setting is a New York apartment where two long-estranged lovers try to resuscitate their passion. Kay is old enough to be skeptical about men-\u003ci\u003ethis \u003c\/i\u003eman in particular-but still alert to the possibility of true love. Benjamin is a filmmaker with an appealing waywardness and a conveniently disappearing fianc e. As the two lie entwined in bed, Susan Minot ushers readers across an entire landscape of memory and sensation to reveal the infinite nuances of sex: its power to exalt and deceive, to connect two separate selves or make them fully aware of their solitude. Honest and unflinching, the result is a hypnotic reading experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSusan Minot's first novel, \u003cb\u003eMonkeys\u003c\/b\u003e, was published in a dozen countries and received the Prix Femina Étranger in France.
