The Bliss Body - Philip Callow

Originally published as Starting Young, The Bliss Body is a literary novel by Philip Callow exploring the emotional and sexual awakening of a young man drawn into an affair with an older, married woman. As Colin becomes increasingly entangled with Leila, what begins as infatuation develops into a deeper examination of love, desire and the complications of adulthood. Often compared to the work of D.H. Lawrence for its frank treatment of relationships and sexuality, Callow's novel combines psychological insight with a strong sense of time and place.
