About This Novel

The original novel of the classic movie "The French Lieutenant's Woman". A classic work, an authoritative translation, a New York Times bestseller, and one of Time's 100 Best English Novels. It is regarded as the leading work of British postmodernist literature. It is a winner of the International PEN Silver Pen Award and the W. H. Smith Literary Award. It is listed as a must-read book in literature courses in British and American universities such as Oxford University. For the first time, the novel creates a complete and truly independent and free feminist image: she is a symbol of depravity, a tragedy of not being sympathized with, all his passion and yearning, an unsolvable mystery of an entire era, and a weak but moving light of freedom in that dark age. On the embankment, she stood facing the sea, her black dress fluttering in the wind, but she remained motionless like a statue, as if she was staring at the sea, or just staring at the void.
