The Narcissist's Twisted Obsession

The novel is about Eli, a genuinely good man who happens to meet a narcissist woman, someone who turns his life in hell. Here is a glimpse of what she once said to Eli. "Humility is the paltry emotional nourishment of the poor, so you know. The ugly and imperfect have no alternative but to appeal to humility. They appeal to such a thing in an attempt to feel themselves more important, without realizing that what they really get for it is pity. And if there's one thing I detest Eli, it's pity."
