Romance Historical
The Disorder of Longing is the powerful story of
one woman's struggle to survive a brutally repressive
marriage. Her husband's obscure sexual practices, his
obsession with rare orchids, and the demeaning limitations
he places on her freedom compel a young Victorian wife to
make dangerous choices in order to save herself. Library
Journal calls it an "engrossing blend of female self-
discovery and grand adventure that is. . .both
entertaining and thought-provoking."
