Mario Vargas Llosa,Ms Edith Grossman: The Bad Girl

The Bad Girl


Description

"A "New York Times "Notable Book of 2007" "" "Splendid, suspenseful, and irresistible . . . A contemporary love story that explores the mores of the urban 1960s--and 70s and 80s."--"The New York Times Book Review" "" ""Ricardo Somocurcio is in love with a bad girl. He loves her as a teenager known as "Lily" in Lima in 1950, when she flits into his life one summer and disappears again without explanation. He loves her still when she reappears as a revolutionary in 1960s Paris, then later as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a wealthy Englishman, and again as the mistress of a sinister Japanese businessman in Tokyo. However poorly she treats him, he is doomed to worship her. Charting Ricardo's expatriate life through his romances with this shape-shifting woman, Vargas Llosa has created a beguiling, epic romance about the life-altering power of obsession.

Praise for Feverborn MR: The stakes have been raised and sharpened, for sure. Blood will spill and lives will be lost. But I don t think I would ever want to write a book that was unrelentingly bleak from beginning to end. I can promise that"Rebel Spring"contains plenty of comic relief and romance to counterbalance the darker bits. When Vinnie is sent away from the bombs in London, he has no idea what awaits him. All he has left of his old life is his harmonica. Musicking: The Meanings of Performing and Listening free ebook On the train, Vinnie meets fierce Kathleen, sweet Joey and gangly Dobbs.
