THE LATINIST is a wickedly sharp, propulsive literary thriller: Tessa Templeton has thrived at Oxford University under the tutelage and praise of esteemed classics professor Christopher Eccles. However, just before her thesis defense, Tessa learns that Chris has sabotaged her career, and realizes their relationship is not at all what she believed. Chris, driven by what he mistakes as love for Tessa, has ensured that no other institution will offer her a position in order to keep Tessa at Oxford with him. His tactics grow more invasive as he determines to prove he has her best interests at heart; meanwhile, Tessa scrambles to undo the damage, and makes a startling discovery about a second-century Latin poet that could launch her into academic stardom, finally freeing her from Chris’s influence. In this contemporary reimagining of the Daphne and Apollo myth, THE LATINIST is a page-turning exploration of power, ambition, and the intertwining of love and obsession.
