On an evening when she is feeling particularly impulsive, she posts some nude photos of herself online. This is how Eve meets Olivia, and through Olivia, the charismatic Nathan—and soon the three begin a relationship that disturbs Eve as much as it delights her. As each act of the affair unfolds, Eve is left to ask: to whom is she responsible? And to what extent do our desires determine who we are?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the way that only great fiction can, \u003ci\u003eActs of Service\u003c\/i\u003e takes between its teeth the contradictions written all over our ideas of sex and sexuality.

At once juicy and intellectually challenging, sacred and profane, it might be the most thought-provoking book you read all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46529171849452,"sku":"9781787704640","price":26.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13575443482824.jpg?v=1749205537"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/lillian-fishman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
