"A "New York Times "Notable Book of 2007
""
""Splendid, suspenseful, and irresistible . . . A contemporary love
story that explores the mores of the urban 1960s--and 70s and
80s."--"The New York Times Book Review
"Ricardo Somocurcio is in love with a bad girl. He loves her as a
teenager known as "Lily" in Lima in 1950, when she flits into his
life one summer and disappears again without explanation. He loves
her still when she reappears as a revolutionary in 1960s Paris,
then later as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a wealthy Englishman,
and again as the mistress of a sinister Japanese businessman in
Tokyo. However poorly she treats him, he is doomed to worship her.
Charting Ricardo's expatriate life through his romances with this
shape-shifting woman, Vargas Llosa has created a beguiling, epic
romance about the life-altering power of obsession.
