Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace Kate Summerscale

Kate Summerscale, the bestselling, award-winning author of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, brilliantly recreates the Victorian world, chronicling in exquisite and compelling detail the life of Isabella Robinson, wherein the longings of a frustrated wife collide with a society clinging to rigid ideas about sanity, the boundaries of privacy, the institution of marriage, and female sexuality.
