Raves and Reviews
“Damage is a masterpiece.”
– The Washington Post
“A taut, sinister tale of erotic obsession.”
– Vanity Fair
“The reader looks on with mingled shock and fascination. A tour de force.”
– The New York Times
“A passionate, elegant, ruthless story.”
– Iris Murdoch, author of The Bell, Under the Net, and The Black Prince
“The effect is powerful: here is naked obsession, sulfurous, total, scarcely possible to live with.”
– Financial Times
“To read this tale of mutual obsession is like being abducted. Josephine Hart has managed to create a portrait of psychological and erotic obsession that is so compelling as, for a brief moment, to suck all the oxygen out of the air.”
– Los Angeles Times
“The violent dreamscape of Damage stayed with me long after I closed the book. Did I dream it? Did I live it? My very uncertainty tells me I have read something rare.”
– Erica Jong, author of Fear of Flying
"The unnamed narrator of this chilling, uncomfortable first novel lives a life many men work vainly all their lives to attain: wealth, successful political career, beautiful wife, two attractive children. Compulsively readable enough to be devoured in a single sitting, this novel is brilliant, but unsettling. Obsession and its aftermath can be fascinating, but never comfortable, reading.”
– Library Journal
"A remarkable first novel of awesome accomplishment and quite startling psychological insight. 'Un-put-downable' is here, for once, not hyperbolic."
– Ruth Rendell
