What this book is about
Julia is a graduate student who recognizes her new professor, Gabriel Emerson, as the older man she fell in love with as a girl. The book is steeped in Dante's Inferno and literary references. The romance is a very slow burn with significant tension before physical content develops. When they finally become involved, he is no longer her professor.
