My Syrian Lover

Hers is the story of how an ordinary middle aged woman is transported from a humdrum existence; morally sedate and sexually naive, to pushing the boundaries of her conscience and experiencing pleasure of a magnitude she had never imagined. Her journey takes her into the realms of illicit love and clandestine liaisons which turn her life upside down and she finds herself dealing with love in it's highest manifestation as well as situations embroiled in secrecy, uncertainty and grief. The cost is the guilt she lives with having an ongoing affair with a married man, the sacrifices she makes; the concealed life she lives and how she compromises her career and, in the end, her security and trust.
