About This Item
New York: Harper Collins, 1996. 1st American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Quarter navy cloth, navy paper boards. 352 pp. Spine slightly tilted, slight rubbing to cloth at spine ends. Remainder mark to tail edge. Dust jacket has a few spots of bumping to top edges and some light soiling to head of rear flap. O/w fine. The story of a 65-year-old woman who falls in love. Widowed for many years with grown children, Sarah is a writer who works in the theater in London. When she falls in love with a seductive young actor, the beautiful and androgynous 28-year-old Bill, and then with the more mature 35-year-old director Henry, Sarah finds herself in a state of longing and desire she thought the province of younger women. Each of the characters is deeply involved in the production of a play based on the journals of Julie Vairon, a lovely and wayward French girl from Martinique. This richly textured novel explores the affinities and connections between romantic love, depression, and grief, homesickness, and the emotional deprivations of childhood.
