lander hawes

In CAPTIVITY, Lander Hawes strips bare a romantic entanglement from the point of view of that modern phenomenon: "celebrity." This is the novel as forensic examination, a story that asks fundamental questions about the behaviour and attitudes of the rich and famous, and by reflection about our not-so-famous selves.
