Transgressive, sardonic, lyrical, comic; irresistibly erotic yet also romantic, Krissy Kneen's writing has been acclaimed for its fearless honesty. In this suite of linked stories, she addresses taboos of all kinds with a subtle wit and an insistence on sexual pleasure that will delight readers.

A solitary young woman called Susanna pursues online adventure among the anonymous torsos of Chatroulette, and finds a soul mate.

Leda's first love brings tenderness, heartbreak and a powerful sexual awakening at the behest of Rachel and Paul—two very different best friends.

In some families, husband and wife start to become like brother and sister. In others it is the other way around. For Aaron, it's a bit more complicated.

The people in these stories don't know each other yet. By the end of Triptych, they will know each other very well indeed.
