 Charismatic
professor David Kepesh glories in the pursuit of adventurous female
students but never lets any woman get too close. When gorgeous
Consuela Castillo enters his classroom, however, his protective
veneer dissolves. Her raven-haired beauty both captivates and
unsettles him. Even if Kepesh declares her body a perfect work of
art, Consuela is more than an object of desire. She has a strong
sense of herself and an emotional intensity that challenges his
preconceptions. Kepesh's need for Consuela becomes an obsession, but
ultimately his jealous fantasies of betrayal drive her away.
Shattered, Kepesh faces up to the ravages of time, immersing himself
in work and confronting the loss of old friends. Then, two years
later, Consuela comes back into his life-with an urgent, desperate
request that will change everything.
