Customer Reviews

Wise, well-written, adventurous -- a great novel for men and

women, but also a great women's novel which richly deserves a wider audience. Informed by a lively intelligence, rich in detail, history, story, "alternate & altered states." THIS is a women's book I'd love to see in college curriculums for women's studies! I compare her not only to Anais Nin but to Lawrence, Miller....but unique in these times.

Why in the heck isn't this book in print any more?

If you want to read a novel that's truly unlike anything you've ever experienced, I'd suggest tracking down a copy of Amy Wallace's DESIRE - sadly, you'll have to hit the local library or used bookstore, since it's not in print any more. Love, obsession, pearls, and sea monsters (yes, that's right, SEA MONSTERS) are just a few of the elements that Ms. Wallace ably weaves into this alternately terrifying, erotic, disturbing, and - finally - supremely moving book; not only an extraordinary first novel, but just an extraordinary novel, period.
