Publisher's Synopsis
Book in slipcase. This book by photographer Amanda Eliasch, brings the art of the love letter into the Blackberry age. A collection of emails written at night to or about her illicit lovers, they run alongside her own photographs of scantily clad models in provocative or post-coital poses. The lovers are anonymous, as are the girlfriends who collaborated, but the emotions expressed and explored are those familiar to every woman, even if only in the dark of the night. In publishing "Cloak and Dagger Butterfly", Amanda brings into the public eye a journey that began when she read aged twelve "The L-Shaped Room" -- by Lynne Reid Banks -- a book about love and passion and whose heroine meets her lovers in secret. Determined to be true to herself and her life she will not compromise (except where it might hurt her children or close family) -- "everything in this book is real, nothing is fake. I dont do fake". A woman who is brave enough to stand up and say that, come what may, she will be honest and thereby true to her needs and desires.
