Love in Excess

Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of a patriarchal society, the novel explores the complexities of desire through a love triangle involving Alovisa, Amena, and the rakish D'Elmont. Alovisa, constrained by societal expectations, anonymously expresses her feelings, mistakenly leading D'Elmont to pursue Amena instead. In a bid to eliminate her rival, Alovisa conspires with Amena's father, only to discover that true love can often mask deeper truths. This reimagined edition highlights Haywood's significant contribution to amatory fiction and her critique of gender dynamics.
