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."
