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.

An experiment about human nature and love, integrating suspense, gothic, literature, art and philosophy. The mysterious manor, the melodious sound of the clavichord, the towels and poetry books smelling of female perfume, and the beautiful girl Lily. It was as if a stage had been set up, just waiting for me, the intruding audience. Even though I could smell a hint of conspiracy, I couldn't help but be attracted. Because the isolated and boring island life almost drove me crazy, and Lily is so charming. However, what happened next in the manor was completely beyond my imagination. As if there was a mysterious wizard controlling everything, I fell into one mystery after another, and I could no longer tell what was reality and what was illusion...
