ABOUT
THE BOOK

“I’ve been stalking my husband’s lover.” So begins the irrepressible Terry Spera in this unsettling story about the nature of obsession. We watch as Terry begins to follow Yvonne through the streets of Manhattan, to her apartment on the Upper West Side, and as she begins to make even more alarming inroads into Yvonne’s life. As she tries to maintain  a semblance of normal life with her husband Mark, we, like Terry, veer from certainty to uncertainty. Is Mark having an affair?  Donna Masini’s first book of poetry That Kind of Danger, won the Barnard New Women Poets Prize. The recipient of a national Endowment for the Arts grant, she is currently teaching at Columbia University and lives in New York City.
