Book summary

In London in 1902, Jane Holland, a young novelist, suddenly becomes famous. Her friend George Tanqueray, a writer of genius who is still unknown, warns her: for him, fame is the beginning of the end. Jane secretly loves him, but Tanqueray, who shuns society, marries Rose, the young servant who nursed him.

The novel asks a question that has lost none of its force: can you love, marry and go on writing, and is the answer the same for a woman as for a man?

With the translation always in front of you, you can discover this subtle and witty novel in the language you are learning.
