The Kiss

Kathryn Harrison


This is a true story (American) that Emily saw reviewed in a magazine. The book is based upon the author's incestuous relationship with her father, driven by her dysfunctional relationship with her mother. She was brought up by grandparents. She seems weak and vulnerable; she mutilates herself and has eating disorders. Her father is a priest with a new family, but he manipulates and uses her.
