Sommario/riassunto

When the aristocratic Lady Isabel abandons her husband & children for her wicked seducer, more is at stake than moral retribution. This edition returns for the first time to the racy, slang-ridden narrative of the first edition, rather than the subsequent stylistically 'improved' versions.
