Alexander Eliot (1919 - 2015) was an American writer born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, best known for his works on spirituality and myth. An imagistic, intense but often embarrassingly explicit story of love- both sacred and profane- wavers between ecstasy and doom and follows the private purgatory of Michael, 19, Beatrice, his sister, 16, and the incestuous emotions they entertain toward each other. (Kirkus review)
The author spent seven years working on this book, "shaping his first novel into lyrical and powerful prose".
Considered a scarce edition, only four other copies found on ViaLibri.net
