Anxious that she will remain encased in her solitary life as a school secretary, and perhaps to spite of her friends, Camilla steps into an unlikely liaison with Richard Elton, a handsome, assured - and dangerous - liar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Taylor's darkest novel is a skillful exploration of the danger we'll go to to avoid loneliness. Taylor is increasingly recognised as one of the best writers of the twentieth century, and this little-known novel displays her range admirably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32039450706003,"sku":"","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781844087129_6e0fc53d-ed4f-41ce-b392-3b882de98830.jpg?v=1778760085","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/a-wreath-of-roses","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
