The
Story
In this romantic thriller where sex is used both as a weapon and a cure, with great lucidity Nathalie Guilbeault exposes the dangers of becoming entangled with a person possessing narcissistic and sociopathic traits. As her marriage unravels, Isabelle Duval meets a Nicaraguan man online. Silencing her own intuition, she falls into the arms of hope, weaving for herself a new reality, one that puts her life and that of her daughter’s at risk.
​
Set primarily in New England, it is a tale of a woman’s struggle to seek stability where none can be found. It is the story of a woman’s blind quest to rationalize the need to give in, to stay, whatever the price, while offering a look into the struggle and desperation of one who has been preyed upon.
"Guilbeault's tone and voice is reminiscent of European writers Anaïs Nin and Alain Robbe-Grillet."
​ - Kathryn Brown Ramsperger, author
Midwest Book Review calls Nathalie Guilbeault's novel, INHALED, "A rollicking good thriller read!"
