In this stunning novel, the renowned author of Evening explores a tragic irony of love and sex: how one partner can reach the heights of devotion at the very instant the other is dumped into the pits of despair (Time Out New York).

Minot's story . . . is timeless, and she makes you feel pure, raw ache. . . . [Rapture is] romantic in the true sense of the word.--The Miami Herald

In a New York apartment, two long-estranged lovers try to resuscitate their passion. Kay is old enough to be skeptical about men--this man in particular--but still alert to the possibility of true love. Benjamin is a filmmaker with an appealing waywardness and a conveniently disappearing fiancée.

As the two lie entwined in bed, Susan Minot ushers readers across an entire landscape of memory and sensation to reveal the infinite nuances of sex: its power to exalt and deceive, to connect two separate selves, or make them fully aware of their solitude. Honest and unflinching, the result is a hypnotic reading experience.
