Publisher's Synopsis
A dark, compelling tale of sex, guilt and morality, exploring the complexity of date rape, from the author of Kissing England
A He Said/She Said novel about date-rape, that tells the dramatic story of a compulsive, obsessive, profoundly carnal love affair between a rich North
London princess and a bolshy Anglo-Irishman: a love affair that somehow ends up in the gladiatorial arena of court number 18, the Old Bailey.
But it isn't just a courtroom drama, nor is it just a highly sexed love story. In its examination of rape and the issue of rape, at the contemporary
lynch law we apply to love and lust, it offers a startling new look at the savage and eternal war between the sexes.
As boy and girl fight with the guilt of their own longings, The Cheek Perforation Dance becomes a startlingly honest, often unsettling examination of a very modern romance.
