“Damage” by Josephine Hart
A new edition of the bestseller “Damage” introduces a very 90s story to a 2020s audience
Looking back, the 90s were a very different time --- and the paperback thrillers from that decade reflect that. First published in 1991, Josephine Hart's debut novel “Damage” was an immediate literary sensation.
As the book's description reads: “‘Damage’ is the gripping story of a man’s desperate obsession and scandalous love affair. He is a man who appears to have everything: wealth, a beautiful wife and children, and a prestigious political career in Parliament. But his life lacks passion, and his aching emptiness drives him to an all-consuming, and ultimately catastrophic, relationship with his son’s fiancée.”
