A Portrait of My Desire: A Novel Paperback - 2014
by MacDonald Harris
Lightly drawing on Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, the acclaimed author of Hemingway's Suitcase sets his story against the eccentricities and decadences of a wealthy California beach community. At the center is a rich widower who counted his late wife among his most valuable possessions. Harry hopes to possess his new, powerfully sexual housekeeper, but finally encounters his own complicated fate.
From the rear cover
Harris sets his tale against the decadent eccentricities of a wealthy California beach community. At the center is Harry, a handsome gallery owner, an epicurean lover of all things beautiful, a man who counted his late wife among his most valuable possessions. When he hires Velda Venn, an unsophisticated yet powerfully sexual housekeeper, the order of his exquisite household is gradually subverted. Like the pull of the ocean waves outside his window, Velda draws Harry from calm self-absorption to erotic obsession. He must possess her - and a spectacular painting that changes everything, a painting that seems the very mirror of his strange, uncontrollable desire.
