Description: "A love story, The Inner Circle is narrated by John Milk, a virginal young man who in 1940 accepts a job as an assistant to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, an extraordinarily charming professor of zoology at Indiana University who has just discovered his life's true calling: sex. As a member of Kinsey's "inner circle" of researchers, Milk (as well as his beautiful new wife) is called on to participate in sexual experiments that become increasingly uninhibited - and problematic for his marriage. For in his later years Kinsey (who behind closed doors is a sexual enthusiast of the first order) ever more recklessly pushes the boundaries both personally and professionally." "While Boyle gives full play to this erotically charged material, The Inner Circle is nonetheless at heart a look at sex, marriage and infidelity that will have readers everywhere reassessing their own relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
