About this audiobook
One might compare Laura Woollett to Shelagh Delany, whose play, A Taste of
Honey was produced when she was eighteen years old. How rare it was to see
such strong, mature, and sophisticated writing by a teenager, for few of them
think that way! Yet Woollett began The Wood of Suicides as a teenager herself.
Gifted writers that young are aberrations, in the best sense, for only a rare
one can write original and spellbinding work at such a young age.
Woollett's narrator, Laurel Marks is a stunning, repressed seventeen-year-old
schoolgirl. She also has a weakness for older men most of all her father, whom
she'll do anything to impress. After his sudden death, Laurel is sent off to a
boarding school where she shortly latches onto a new love-object: her English
teacher, Mr. Hugh Steadman.
Following an encounter in the woods, a flirtation develops between the two,
marked by hopeful highs and suicidal lows, on Laurel's part. Their romance is
eventually consummated one November afternoon, in the arbor where they first
met. But Laurel's middle-aged teacher proves to be a more violent lover than
she ever anticipated. Like the doomed chase between Daphne and Apollo,
Steadman pursues and Laurel recedes.
Woollett charts the course of their obsession with an unswerving eye,
describing their unbridled desire for one another and the reckless and
tortured course on which they have embarked and of Laurel's unshed grief for
her father, whose absence will be either her salvation or her undoing.
