Sugaring Off
On the surface, Adam and Marion are the embodiment of success: wealthy, attractive, in love. While holidaying in Martha's Vineyard, Adam surfs into a local young woman, Celia. The accident leaves her injured and financially at risk; for Adam and Marion it opens a fault of loneliness, rage, and desires that have too long been ignored.
Like a modern Virginia Woolf, Fanny Britt abrades the surface layer of our outward personas, delving into the complexity and contradictions of relationships. In this eviscerating critique of privilege, she asks what happens when one can no longer play a role-whether in a couple, family, or social structure-and the resulting friction between pleasure and consequence.
Winner of a Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction, Sugaring Off probes intimacy, denial, and how we are tied to others-whether those we love or exploit.
