An Intimate War

An Intimate War is a tumultuous love story, and an exploration of a dangerously addictive relationship between a man and a woman who come from different worlds.

Love can make us fly or make us crazy.

Set against the backdrop of a painter’s life, this lyrical novel is an exquisitely crafted meditation on the disintegration of a marriage and its turbulent aftermath. With unusual and sometimes brutal honesty, the author tells the story of two complex, wounded souls bound together by an addictive passion.

Sensual, courageous and ultimately compassionate, here is a dispatch from the frontlines of a hard-fought relationship, and from the universal battlegrounds of men and women, love and shame, bodies and hearts.

An Intimate War pulsates with raw emotion, courageous vulnerability and intense eroticism, and exposes how neediness, shame and self-destructive patterns erupt in an intimate war. The story provides an unforgiving yet compassionate account of an intimate relationship that might be far closer to the norm than most would like to admit. Its uncompromising exploration of how invisible childhood histories impact on adult relationships will jolt adults into reviewing the way they treat children, and show struggling couples that they are not alone in their intimate wars.
