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.","brand":"Edith Grossman, Mario Vargas Llosa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46396616081644,"sku":"9780312427764","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780312427764.jpg?v=1745540732","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/bad-girl-1","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
