| Title : | I sent a letter to my love | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Bernice Rubens | | Publisher: | London : Sphere | | Publication Date: | 1988 | | Pagination: | 197 p. | | Size: | 20 cm | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-0-349-13017-0 | | General note: | "Abacus." Reprint. Originally published: London : W.H. Allen, 1975. | | Abstract: | All her life, Amy Evans has struggled against that unkind gift of fate—ugliness. A squat nose stubbed like a plasticine afterthought on her face, a chin too long, and eyes straining to meet each other form a sad picture that dooms Amy to a life of solitude and lovelessness. Now in her fifties, Amy lives alone with her crippled brother, both prisoners of the hopes and aspirations of their youth. Then Amy makes a final bid for happiness, a last ditch attempt to meet someone who might love her. Suddenly her life takes on dizzying new dimensions as she explores untrodden paths of sexual awareness in an all-or-nothing gamble for dangerous and delicious success. |
