There are many acts of love; and love has many faces: the proud love of a father for his son; the adoration of a young man for his wife; the lust of a girl for her lover; the affection of a man for his daughter-in-law.

But affection can become obsession, family respect turn to passion, love be transformed into hate…

Acts of Love –
rivalling the poignancy of Love Story, the glorious vigour of Zorba the Greek, the insight of Looking for Mr Goodbar – is a unique and powerful novel by the internationally renowned author of The Understudy, The Assassins and The Arrangement.
