Probing the risky borders between desire and devotion, pleasure and power, Faithful brings a provocative new voice to the literature of modern love. This is a novel you really shouldn't read alone. The characters seem to urge us to discuss their daring choices, while the author gives us an unflinching tour of one of the most electrifying relationships to appear in print. On these pages, a marriage dissolves, but not its erotic core; a beautiful executive challenges everything you might have believed about what women want; and a man evolves into a fiercely devoted father. And if that's not enough to talk about, there's the storytelling itself to consider: a narrative that is raw, seductive, and yet gently evocative all at once.

Whether you read the book solo or with friends, Faithful is a novel to savor. We hope that the following questions will enhance your enjoyment of it.
