Description
Frances is thirty years old and struggling to find her footing after the death of her mother. Grief has left her feeling disconnected from herself, uncertain of her future, and searching for something that might restore a sense of purpose and joy to her life.
Her husband, Ben, wants to help.
When Frances suggests opening their marriage, Ben agrees. What begins as an attempt to reconnect and explore new possibilities soon becomes a journey neither of them anticipated. Together they venture into unfamiliar emotional and romantic territory, meeting new partners, forming unexpected connections, and confronting desires that had long remained unspoken.
Over the course of several years, Frances and Ben navigate the exhilarating highs and painful complications that accompany their experiment. Jealousy, attraction, betrayal, intimacy, and personal growth reshape not only their relationship but also the lives of the friends and lovers who become part of their expanding circle.
As both partners continue to evolve, their paths begin to diverge in unexpected ways. Ben develops feelings that extend beyond casual connection, while Frances finds herself reexamining what she wants from the future. Faced with difficult choices about commitment, family, and identity, they must confront whether love can survive profound change.
With warmth, wit, and emotional honesty, Elisa Faison explores the many forms relationships can take and the challenges of balancing personal freedom with lasting connection. Skin Contact is a thoughtful and engaging portrait of contemporary love, asking what it means to grow alongside another person while remaining true to yourself.
Insightful, compassionate, and deeply human, this debut novel examines marriage, sexuality, grief, and self-discovery with nuance and grace.
