Indulgence

<p>Pinder's The Indulgence resonates with our times. It is a courtroom drama about what happens when love turns to hate and everyone turns to the law. The endorsements say it all: </p><p> </p><p>The Indulgence is a gripping powerful read. The protagonist actress Lucinda Yates is a compellingly original character wonderfully impossible to categorize. She is articulate and self-reflecting; her sexuality is in free flow; she belongs to no camp. Yet she is caught in the compulsion of a ruinous limiting relationship. Hers is an heroic struggle to escape the tragedy of falling in love with someone who does not have the capacity to return that love. </p><p>Juliet Stevenson British stage and screen actress (Truly Madly Deeply; Bend it Like Beckham; Lawrence Olivier Award Best Actress) </p><p> </p><p>The book is wonderful full of elegance and the narrative -- not to mention the writing -- so powerful. Such story-telling. A triumph. </p><p>Hugh Brody filmmaker and author (Maps and Dreams; The Other Side of Eden) </p><p> </p><p>This is a powerful blistering novel a startling premise a page turner beautifully written a novel that will remain with me for a long time. There are so many layers such a myriad of involving and troubling themes that left me thinking way beyond the page... [A] cracking story one that engages the reader right down to the wire. </p><p>Gillian Stern freelance editor in the U.K.</p>
