Description
Lose yourself in the legendary Edna O''Brien''s simmering romantic tale of a woman rediscovering herself on the French Riviera ...''The taboo-breaking, the fabulous prose – there''s no one like Edna O''Brien.'' Anne Enright''Novels of heart-breaking empathy, rigorous honesty and peerless beauty.'' Eimear McBride''Surprising and beautiful and courageous .. A beacon.'' Megan Nolan''''Glittering energy.'' Colm Tóibín ''Brilliant and brave.'' Ann Patchett Separated from her husband and young son, Ellen leaves behind the loneliness of London for a new life of excitement and sexual freedom:a ''jaunt into iniquity'' on the gorgeous French Riviera. However, she soon discovers that independence blurs into loneliness, especially when she receives some heart-breaking news ...Banned in several countries on first publication, August is a Wicked Month is a shimmering, sensual tale of a woman rediscovering herself - and it feels just as glorious, radical, and escapist as today.
