SynopsisThis is the first English translation of Liane de Pougy's 1901 novel A Woman's Affair (Idylle Saphique) which shocked French readers with its lesbian lover story, and is based on Liane de Pougy's affair with Natalie Barney. Despite her beauty and her riches, Annhine de Lys, one of the most notorious courtesans of 1890s Paris, is bored and restless. Into her life bursts Flossie, a young American woman, and everything changes. The love she offers Annhine is dangerous, perverse and hard to resist. Ignoring the warnings of her best friend, Annhine encourages the affair. Yet she cannot commit: she advances, retreats, becomes bewildered, ill. After a tragic incident at a masked ball, Annhine leaves Paris to make a long tour through Europe. But the attempt to put time and distance between them comes to nothing and the fateful relationship must run its course., This is the first English translation of Liane de Pougy's 1901 novel A Woman's Affair (Idylle Saphique) which shocked French readers with its lesbian lover story, and is based on Liane de Pougy's affair with Natalie Barney.Despite her beauty and her riches, Annhine de Lys, one of the most notorious courtesans of 1890s Paris, is bored and restless.
