Set in both England and colonial India, The Woman in the Bazaar
follows Captain George Coventry as he wrestles with guilt and the
consequences of his actions. Rigid even by old fashioned standards,
George Coventry holds misogynistic beliefs regarding the role women
fill in a marriage, and in society. When he meets a beautiful woman
named Rafella, they marry quickly after dating for a short period
of time. Despite this rush and George's misogyny, they are a happy
couple for a while, until Rafella starts making friends. After she
befriends the handsome Mr. Kennister, George assumes that Rafella
is cheating on him. Absolutely irate and sick with jealousy, George
terrorizes Rafella with a possessive rage until she runs away,
never to be seen again. Years later, George falls in love again,
but is unable to enjoy his second chance as he is haunted by rumors
of a woman in the bazaar, an Englishwoman who had been sold into
slavery. As George becomes engrossed in this rumor, he is forced to
wonder if Rafella could have suffered the same fate. Finally taking
accountability of and reflecting on his actions, George realizes
that he first must resolve his past with Rafella before entering a
new marriage. With its feminist themes, complex characters and
unique setting, The Woman in the Bazaar keeps audiences engaged and
constrained. Originally published in 1917, Alice Perrin's The Woman
in the Bazaar colorfully depicts a setting uncommon in literature
while featuring a marriage riddled with jealousy. With the vivid
portrayal of colonial India as well as the many sides to
relationships, The Woman in the Bazaar is a compelling narrative of
an aspect of marriage not often explored. Following George's
pre-existing polarizing beliefs, Perrin explores their fruition and
the effect it has on Rafella and George's relationship. This rare
portrayal of marital problems caters to an unfortunately common
consequence of matrimony and still resonates with contemporary
audiences. Now featuring a brand new, eye-catching cover design and
a readable font, this edition of The Woman in the Bazaar, written
by the celebrated author, Alice Perrin, is perfect for a modern
audience.
