Minot's lovers are mesmerizing in their individual journeys-one moving toward a kind of holy consummation, the other toward abnegation and blank despair. This is the wayward history of their efforts to make contact with each other while deluding themselves about the nature of the contact they're making. Graphic, erotic, provocative, \"Rapture\" is a meditation on romantic love, sex, and their reflections in the life of the mind.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Rapture | Susan Minot | Hardcover | 9780375413278 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks R 1758972","offer_id":49192322007192,"sku":"1758972","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61GH-2jrPqL.jpg?v=1780517265","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/rapture-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
