Description
Jane Bowles's literary output, small but perfect, puts her on a stylistic planet all her own. In this novel, two women's lives are revealed in all their complexity. Miss Goering, an eccentric heiress, and Mrs Copperfield, a dutiful wife, find themselves at crossroads, each struggling to come to terms with their desires. Their paths diverge in unexpected ways: Miss Goering abandons her life for love of a local prostitute, while Mrs Copperfield embarks on a journey to Panama. Both women's worlds are turned upside down as they confront the things that have been holding them back. With an Introduction by Naoise Dolan, this novel offers a nuanced exploration of two women's experiences. Through their stories, Bowles reveals the intricate web of desires and fears that shape our lives. A poignant and thought-provoking read, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships.
