Description
Pampered, vain and inquisitive, Rosamund creates a bizzare sexual incident while in Paris which affects her whole life. A loveless marriage evolves from that youthful caprice, and Rosamund learns only gradually that she has become emotionally sterile, a woman without passion or attachment. When she finally seeks to commit herself to another person, she inevitable fails, and yet discovers her true character.
This exploration of the meaning of love and personality is set against a fascinating background of New York society, spanning the agitated years of the 1930s and '40s. Stanley Baron's novel is elegant in style, glamorous, immensely readable, and full of insight and sympathy. In Rosamund, he has created a character who is not easily forgotten.
