Ceridwen Dovey 
In the Garden of the Fugitives 

Destek

A literary tour-de-force of power, guilt and obsession – two people stalk each other through the shadowy, tangled web of the past – man and woman caught in a dangerous game of confession, each partly predator and partly prey…
”It has been almost fifteen years. I”ve thought about you often, mostly unkindly. But there: I have thought about you.”
Nearly twenty years after Vita broke off contact with Royce, he writes to her, determined to excavate the past. He is older than her, a ghost from her university days, a former benefactor she has tried hard to forget. In his own youth, Royce spent two fateful summers working on a dig in Pompeii with a woman he would later memorialize with a scholarship – the same one that Vita eventually received.
From opposite sides of the world, Royce and Vita enter into an adversarial dance: an attempt to settle old accounts. Profoundly addictive and unsettling, In the Garden of the Fugitives is a thrilling psychological examination of what happens when the lines are blurred between victim and predator, between loyalty and obsession.
Praise for Ceridwen Dovey
”Strange and richly imagined, haunting and atmospheric… [Dovey] unflinchingly illuminates human nature” The New York Times on Only the Animals
”Painfully beautiful, heartbreaking and riveting… Dovey voices the uncomfortable, she speaks the unspeakable… An ambitious book with a fable-like surface and a whole churning world beneath” Guardian on Only the Animals
