In this clever, witty adaptation of Irene Iddlesleigh, Irene and Sir John are not made in paradise. Vain, selfish and oddly eccentric, they tumble into a tragic love story driven by lust, greed, and mutual delusion.
With vivid, playful prose that brings their towering egos to life, this novella transforms the infamous Irene Iddlesleigh into dark comedy. Beneath the humour, Irene also exposes the rigid expectations placed upon high society women, revealing a world where beauty, status and marriage have little room for love.
