Description

Hardcover: 304 pages. In 1954, prostitution is legal in Verona Island. Here, Lila Gulliver runs a brothel that promises her clients privacy and discretion. When Carita, a young woman blind since birth, arrives seeking employment, Mrs Gulliver sees an opportunity and takes a chance on her. Carita is a complex and enigmatic figure, always holding herself at a distance from those around her. Her employer, Mrs Gulliver, is wary of the wealthy judge's son who becomes infatuated with Carita. As their paths intersect, two women must navigate their lives in a society that dismisses them. This novel is a drama filled with sex, wit and literary references, exploring the agency of two women fighting for their place on an island where they have nothing to lose.
