Rosandra White is the proverbial perfect blonde. Exquisitely proportioned, desirable, her pale beauty exerts a powerful and dangerous allure. When she meets her childhood admirer Jem after years of risky liaisons, he finds that she has become a figure of unnerving intrigue.

—West Africa

[A] very clever book indeed. … It adopts the aesthetic appropriate to a culture in a politically hopeless age.

—Jenny Turner, The Guardian
