Pretty Leslie

Más información sobre el libro

Beautiful, intelligent, and charming, Leslie Daniels is the wife of a successful Illinois physician. To her friends and family, she is happily living the American dream. But there is a hidden side to Leslie, a side propelled by lust and unsettling impulses that run completely counter to her comfortable Midwestern routine."Here is the substance of great tragedy...Pretty Leslie is one of the most outstanding novels of the year." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution"In many ways an American Madame Bovary, Pretty Leslie is a novel of unusual power. Mr Cassill establishes himself as an observer of rare trenchancy. His intelligence is tough; his grasp of character is breathtaking and his prose is always a delight. Pretty Leslie is a jolting, disturbing book -- its revelation of the darkness within will make some readers cringe, but it stamps Mr. Cassill as a writer of the first rank."- New York Times Book Review
