- Enigmatic woman defies era's suffocating rules
- Coastline longing as atmospheric as bridges
- Literary craft elevates the forbidden affair
If you ached for Francesca's windswept longing on that Iowa bridge, let John Fowles transport you to Victorian England's rugged coast, where a disgraced woman stands alone on a storm-battered quay, waiting for a ship that may never arrive. Here is another forbidden love that blooms in isolation, another worldly stranger who sees past convention to awaken what society has tried to bury—except Fowles wraps this romance in mystery, metafiction, and a narrative voice that dares you to question every sentimental impulse even as you surrender to them.
The poignancy of roads not taken becomes Fowles's haunting obsession, his Victorian lovers caught between duty and desire with the same quiet devastation that made you weep for Robert Kincaid's departure.
This is the literary affair you've been craving since you closed that covered bridge behind you.
