The Weather In The Streets (VMC 40th Anniversary Series)

Opis

A novel of searing honesty and a passionate portrayal of forbidden love. Published as part of a beautifully designed series to mark the 40th anniversary of the Virago Modern Classics.

'A truly great book. It is beautifully written, shrewdly observed and deftly crafted, but the novel's real concern is what it means for a woman to live an authentic life' Elizabeth Day

A chance encounter with the man who enchanted her as a teenager leads Olivia Curtis into to a forbidden love affair. He is now married, and Olivia's life changes to one of secret meetings, brief phone calls and snatched liaisons in anonymous hotel rooms.

Years ahead of its time when first published in 1936, this subtle and powerful novel shocked it readers with its searing honesty and passionate portrayal of clandestine love.
