Will has a good sex lifeā€"with the woman he married. So why then is he increasingly plagued by violent erotic fantasies that, were they to break out of his imagination and into the real world, have the power to destroy not only his family but his career? He's about to lose his grip when he attends a college reunion and there discovers evidence of a past sexual betrayal, one serious enough that it threatens to overpower the present, even as it offers a key to Will's dangerous obsessions.

Hypnotic, beautifully written, this mesmerizing novel by ā€œan extremely gifted writerā€ (San Francisco Chronicle) explores the corrosive effect of evilā€"and how painful psychological truths long buried within a family can corrupt the present and, through courage and understanding, lead to healing and renewal. ā€œLike Scheherezade in the grip of a fever dream, Kathryn Harrison . . . has written one of those rare books, in language of unparalleled beauty, that affirm the holiness of life,ā€ said Shirley Ann Grau, about Poison. And the same can be said about Envy.
