Wrecked

A "hauntingly disarming" novel of a troubled woman obsessed with being the perfect wife and lover by the international bestselling author of Wetlands (Bust). Charlotte Roche's scandalous first novel, Wetlands, was an international phenomenon—a sexually and hygienically explicit tale of a young woman's life that sold over two million copies. Her second novel, Wrecked, is just as raw and powerful as it deals not only with sex, but also with death, fidelity, feminism, and the question of what is expected from a twenty-first-century wife and mother. "It's easier to give a blow job than to make coffee." That's what Elizabeth Kiehl thinks to herself after a lengthy and inventive bout of sex with her husband Georg. Elizabeth goes to great efforts to pleasure her husband and to be a good mother to their seven-year-old daughter. But her domestic perfectionism hides a tragic rift in her psyche—the result of a terrible accident she keeps locked away in her past. As a result, Elizabeth's relationship with Georg is rather unusual: most married couples wouldn't frequent the local brothel for threesomes while their daughter is at school. "Wrecked is likely to become a cult classic, American Psycho by way of Catherine Millet, as Roche places domestic sex at the forefront of contemporary erotic culture." —Financial Times
