Romance
Award-winning author Nancy Huston follows her bestselling
novel, Fault Lines, winner of the Prix Femina, with
an intensely provocative story about a passionate yet
emotionally-wounded woman’s sexual
explorations.
After a troubled childhood and two
failed marriages, Rena Greenblatt has achieved success as a
photographer. She specializes in infrared techniques that
expose her pictures’ otherwise hidden landscapes and capture
the raw essence of deeply private moments in the lives of
her subjects.
Away from her lover, and stuck in
Florence, Italy, with her infuriating stepmother and her
aging, unwell father, Rena confronts not only the
masterpieces of the Renaissance but the banal inconveniences
of a family holiday. At the same time, she finds herself
traveling into dark and passionate memories that will lead
to disturbing revelations.
Infrared is both an
explicitly bold story of how sexuality is influenced by
childhood, family, and culture, and a portrait of a woman
coming to terms with the end of her father’s life. With
exceptional flair and intelligence, Huston fearlessly
investigates the links between family intimacies and our
collective lives, between destruction and creation.
