Intriguing! Mesmerinzing! Sensual! Erotic!

Even though this was the most graphic novel I have read on incest, Whiteson managed to evoke deep feelings for the Mother and son. As the sensuality and highly charged sexuality of the Mother came through for her son, the reader was left realizing that she was not only uncontrollable but uncontainable in her sexaul appetitie for her son. Her husband also talks about trying to'dumb down' her sexuality early on in their marriage. The sexuality was always there, simmering below the surface.It got transferred to her son. Over the years, the incest became love, the victims became lovers. We were left with 2 people who didn't know their roles anymore. The Mother ruined them both for other lovers. The story of incest became a love story. Leon Whiteson pulled it off by digging deep into the psyche of the Mother thereby taking the reader on a mesmerizing journey from illicit love to eternal love. Whereas in many fictional works of incest there is a lot of innuendo, but not really tackling incest, this novel was beautifully written and the kind of incestuous novel that I have been looking for. It left me wanting more for both the Mother and son.
