On the giant nylon web built for her in the studio, she begins to feel strangely exhilarated, thrillingly powerful. Sarah Jordan is a woman gripped by a strange and terrible metamorphosis. Love and fear, courage and perversity, violence and neurosis are spun together to create a sinister spider's web. Thread by thread, this realistic and compelling novel builds to a bizarre and horrifying conclusion.
