Lose yourself in the legendary Edna O''Brien''s simmering romantic tale of a woman rediscovering herself on the French Riviera ...
''The taboo-breaking, the fabulous prose – there''s no one like Edna O''Brien.'' Anne Enright

Separated from her husband and young son, Ellen leaves behind the loneliness of London for a new life of excitement and sexual freedom:a ''jaunt into iniquity'' on the gorgeous French Riviera. However, she soon discovers that independence blurs into loneliness, especially when she receives some heart-breaking news ...
Banned in several countries on first publication, August is a Wicked Month is a shimmering, sensual tale of a woman rediscovering herself - and it feels just as glorious, radical, and escapist as today.
