Clare and Francis are lovers, partners in a specta Clare and Francis are lovers, partners in a spectacularly ardent adultery. No strangers to the pleasure of an anonymous hotel room, they go to great lengths to conceal their affair from Francis’s wife and young daughter. One day, the hotel room they wake up in is unfamiliar to them both and they have no recollection of arriving there. In Permanence by Sophie Mackintosh, we’re spirited away to a paradisal parallel world of endless blue skies and aphrodisia, populated entirely by adulterers. Here, Clara and Francis can celebrate their love openly. Is this freedom at last or an uncanny case of be careful what you wish for?
