DESCRIPTION:
Considered by many to be von Arnim's finest work, VERA is a startling exploration of sex and violence. Lucy Entwhistle's beloved father has just died, and aged twenty-two, she finds herself alone in the world. Leaning against her garden gate, dazed and unhappy, she is disturbed by the sudden appearance of the perspiring Mr Wemyss. -
REVIEWS:
'A remarkable novel' Rebecca West *'Von Arnim was keenly aware of the powerlessness of an intelligent woman in a male-dominated world' Kate Saunders
