Taboo is a novel that explores those areas of life generally considered off-limits. It is a mystery,
a romance, a probe behind convention to look for reality.
The story opens in Germany as the Russian armies take their revenge on the captive population. This becomes a metaphor for a continuing war, that between man and woman as the story shifts to an explosive confrontation in present-day Germany and Holland.
You quickly become aware that an investigation is taking place. But of what nature? What happened when a taboo-protected divide was crossed by two lovers? Other people and situations bring their own restrictions, their own inhibitions.
The bringing to light of what has been carefully hidden from ourselves....this is the process at work in Taboo. Horrors, fears, irrational drives come bubbling up to the surface from an ancient past.
Taboo contains a dilemma capable of many possible outcomes. What actually transpires will both surprise and enlighten.
