Consent

Frances is bright, young and single, enjoying life and her burgeoning career in the big city.
But after attracting the attentions of a stranger, her life begins to unravel from the inside out.
A seductive novel of power and complicity, Consent shows us just how vulnerable we are to the will of others - people we may not even know . . .
