The New York Times bestselling masterpiece - a daring look at the dangers of obsession and the depth of its shattering consequences

'Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.'
Damage is the gripping story of a man's desperate obsession and scandalous love affair. He is a man who appears to have everything: wealth, a beautiful wife and children, and a prestigious political career in Parliament. But his life lacks passion, and his aching emptiness drives him to an all-consuming and ultimately catastrophic relationship with his son's fiancée.
