Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This tale of sexual obsession in postwar London was banned in England and Germany during the Sixties, so naturally it became an underground classic.

Pressestimmen
“Riveting, intelligent, delicately written. . . . Templeton is an extraordinarily gifted and acerbic observer of the weirder reaches of love.” –The Seattle Times
“Imagine Jane Austen and D.H. Lawrence sharing an engrossed conversation about social snobbery and the wolfish pursuit of obsessive sex and you have something of Templeton’s atmosphere.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review
“[An] eerie tale of sexual obsession. . . . One part Story of O to two parts Muriel Spark, the book beautifully evokes the tightened belts and loosened morals of postwar London.” —The New Yorker
“Gordon is one of the great classics of erotic literature.” –W Magazine
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Smart, Sexy, and Timeless
15. Juli 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Louisa is unable to break away from Richard Gordon, the older lover who draws her more and more close to him the more chilling his behavior towards her becomes. Louisa can't understand her inability to leave what most of us would consider an abusive relationship - one in which she paradoxically finds refuge. Gordon remains tantilizingly enigmatic to the end.
Sex here is a reflection of their relationship, rather than the basis for it. It's difficult to believe this was written almost fifty years ago - bravo, Ms. Templeton, for finally taking credit for this fascinating novel. (But for the very last page, this would've been a 5-star book.)

this novel deserves a LOT more recognition!
3. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
After I read that Kathryn Harrison said Gordon was her favorite love story, I was beyond intrigued. Reading about the abusive relationship between the narrator and Gordon is a little bit like being unable to pull yourself from watching a gruesome car wreck, but I would highly, highly recommend the novel to anyone who has a stomach for it. I've read this book a few times and have gotten multiple friends to read it, and none of them could put it down, either. Edith Templeton's dark and sexy book is a must-read!

Male name title, female sardonic humor
12. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
It's not the duel with psychiatry that makes this book great. It was banned for explicit sex in England (apparently, it was that unusual) in the 1960s. But it's Templeton's amazing writing technique that's truly eye-opening. The opening scene is the fastest, most furious, and funniest that has ever hooked me into a book.
