Fowles’ stunning debut is a study of a lonely young sociopath who kidnaps the woman he has fixated on, keeping her in his cellar in the belief that she will eventually come to love him. The story is narrated in turns by the young man and his captive, giving two opposing points of view.

I think everyone should read this – it's about a kidnapper and his victim, but also class and art and beauty. Wasn't sure at first, but then the second half of the story from Miranda's perspective made it a definite five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All just happenstance
abducting respectfully
what a pretty prize.
I really enjoyed reading from Ferdinand's perspective, but boy was Miranda boring.
