Passionate account of an all-consuming love.

Simple Passion could be a good read for someone who enjoys introspective and deeply emotional writing. The unique feature of this book is its unflinching honesty about the narrator's feelings and her willingness to expose her vulnerabilities. Readers will be absorbed by the intensity of the writing as the author describes the complexity of a love affair that seems doomed from the start. Overall, this book is a gripping account of desire and the heart's capacity for both joy and pain.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
