What’s better than reading a book that pulses with emotional electricity and the thrill of forbidden love? Reading two! In Permanence, Sophie Mackintosh (Booker-longlisted author of The Water Cure) imagines a world where adulterers can test their love without fear of consequence, while Stephanie Sy-Quia's A Private Man fictionalises the crackling connection between her Catholic priest grandfather and a theology teacher. They compare notes on passion as a constructive and destructive force with Sasha de Buyl.
