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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut 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. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten in the same “limpid, assured style: cruel, yes, but not detached or apathetic” (Harper’s Magazine) as Lord Jim at Home, Dinah Brooke’s transgressive debut remains every bit as shocking as when it was first published in 1971.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished:  USA, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: McNally Jackson \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: \u003cspan\u003e9781961341647\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_signature_prefix\"\u003e--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dinah Brooke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57091966894411,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781961341647.jpg?v=1776862408","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/love-life-of-a-cheltenham-lady","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
