About This Item
NY: Knopf, 1993. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. The critically acclaimed, award-winning lawyer/author's follow-up book to his "Wartime Lies" debut. The story of the last two years of Ben's life, told by his closest friend, Jack, who pieces the facts together from his own memory and from the personal papers that come into his possession as executor of Ben's will. It is the story, most particularly, of Ben's tumultuous love affair with Jack's cousin Veronique, a woman whose dazzling beauty masks darkness and disquiet. Wi th Veronique, Ben discovers "the vast bliss of being loved." But when her husband learns of the affair and a commitment to Veronique is required, Ben discovers his own fragility-and the brutal hold his past has on him." Clean copy. Record # 383926
