He is going to prove he loved me. I am going to prove he ruined me.
For those who loved My Dark Vanessa and Three Women, DEAR DARLING is a bold, timely and unflinching story about the crossed borders of desire - and one woman's path to retribution.
Lauren Tan has waited for this day for twenty years.
The day she'd receive the letter saying he was out of prison.
The day she'd abandon her husband and three-year-old daughter, leaving her pretend life behind.
The day she'd look into the eyes of Daniel Prior - her first love, mentor and stepfather, the man she had sex with when she was fourteen years old.
The day she'd make him atone for everything.
Explosive and uncomfortable, beautiful and provocative, DEAR DARLING cuts to the heart of some of the most complex issues of our age.
