Fiction
Learner’s The Witch of Cologne was an
erotically-charged novel of people swept inexorably along by
events they could not control. In Soul,
Learner relates the story of Lavinia and Julia Huntington,
passionate
women trapped in emotional whirlpools that threaten to drown
them and
everyone they love.
In 19th century Britain,
Lavinia is
married to an older man who seems to appreciate her lively
curiosity. Lavinia proves to be an apt pupil in both
the study and
the bedroom, glorying in the pleasures of the
physical.
In
21st century Los Angeles, geneticist Julia is trying to
identify people
who can kill without remorse. Stunned to discover that
she seems
to possess the trait she is looking for, Julia is reassured
of her
emotions by her intense passion for her husband and her
delight in her
pregnancy.
In the past, Lavinia’s desire for
her husband
grows, but his cools as he becomes fascinated with
another. In the
present, Julia’s love overwhelms her husband, who leaves
her.
Lavinia
and Julia feel the tortures of passion unspent. Cold
logic tells
them that the deaths of their tormentors will bring them
peace. Separated by a hundred years, two Huntington
women face the
same decision. Their choices will echo far into the
future.
