"Frankly I feel this novella is an excellent work, yet life is very sad for the two main characters, it so wastes away under one's fingers. They are all mad, all mad, but wonderfully decent. Well, I wish I have not found it so, I wish to think the good parts of it last and grow greater every day. Maybe it is so, if Jerome could see all manner of beautiful memories and kind thoughts when looking into Alissa's eyes, as when they were wide open, like a piece of her youth...." - Goodreads Reviewer

  • Mô tả

A delicate boy growing up in Paris, Jerome Palissier spends many summers at his uncle's house in the Normandy countryside, where the whole world seems 'steeped in azure'. There he falls deeply in love with his cousin Alissa and she with him. But gradually Alissa becomes convinced that Jerome's love for her is endangering his soul. In the interests of his salvation, she decides to suppress everything that is beautiful in herself - in both mind and body. A devastating exploration of aestheticism taken to extremes, "Strait is the Gate" is a novel of haunting beauty that stimulates the mind and the emotions.
