| Description |
Forbidden love and vertigo from vengeance. In a corrupt society where women are used as chattels to further dynastic ambition and family honour is all, a cluster of monied men vie for Annabella’s hand in marriage. Bergetto is a simpleton. Grimaldi is sponsored by the church. And Soranzo is the boy most likely. Her most persistent suitor is Giovanni, an Italian nobleman who is deeply and blackly divided by his desire for her. For he is her brother. As his erotic obsession is indulged, their carnal love unlocks a barrage of violence and sexual transgression that neither could predict. Drowning in a sea of falsehoods and emotional helter skelter, blood is boiled, purity challenged and conspiracy is the order of the day. Incest is a black lake where no-one treads water. |
