A Carnal Affair is a novel chat exposes the manners and morals of love and sex in and our of marriage today. Two contrary lovers pursue their stormy destiny through a sequence of confrontations that intensify into violence. She is an artist, possessed of personal glamourgolden-haired, blue-eyed, passionate, impulsive. He is a diplomat, possessed of worldly power affluent, polished, charmingly jaded. Their illicit love is made more dangerous by the headstrong clash of her commitment to feelings and personal integrity, with his reliance on a life of forms and surfaces, private deceit and disposable human relationships. Sylvia Fraser creates an aura of myth and mystery by interweaving her story with a series of original adult fairytales.
