Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Felix Quinn becomes convinced that, in order for him to be happy, his wife must have an affair. '"The Act Of Love" is naked, haunting, unflinching. Its account of sexual obsession is frightening, painful and finally very moving. A tour de force' Harold Pinter

Publisher's description:

'No man has ever loved a woman and not imagined her in the arms of someone else'. Felix Quinn calls himself a happy man. He owns one of London's oldest antiquarian bookshops. He is married to and adores the beautiful Marisa. But a childhood experience has taught him that loss is intrinsic to love.
