<p><b>“A devastating account of the sexual awakening of an English lady . . . An intense, fastidiously crafted and disturbing novel.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><p><b>From the “brilliant forgotten novelist” behind the “ferocious” <i>Lord Jim at Home</i> (<i>The Telegraph</i>) comes a searing tale of a young woman’s unravelling beneath the unforgiving Tuscan sun.</b></p><p>Miranda, her husband Louis, and their infant daughter are set to spend the summer in a rented villa in Tuscany. He’s a self-assured young American actor; she, a well-educated, well-bred English ingénue. But when Louis is called away to a shoot, Miranda is left alone with her baby in the remote Italian countryside—until a young Italian named Oreste arrives, claiming to have been invited by her now-absent husband.</p><p>Miranda quickly falls under the interloper’s spell—and into his arms—launching into a feverish affair that threatens to dissolve her already fragile, fracturing sense of self. As events spiral further out of her control, the novel hurtles headlong toward its horrifying conclusion.</p><p>Written in the same “limpid, assured style: cruel, yes, but not detached or apathetic” (<i>Harper’s Magazine</i>) as <i>Lord Jim at Home</i>, Dinah Brooke’s transgressive debut remains every bit as shocking as when it was first published in 1971.</p>
