{"product_id":"longing-9780916727895","title":"Longing","description":"An intense psychological novel, this book focuses on a young woman's dependence on her husband and her attempts to forge an independent life for herself. Rosa, a frail, sensitive American Jew living in Paris, marries an alcoholic expatriate from Chile and finds herself trapped in a sadomasochistic relationship. Amid a series of fast-moving events--the birth of their daughter, moving to Rosa's parents' home and then to Sausalito, California, and various sexual encounters--this narrative explores Antonio's fears and failures as well as Rosa's implicit trust in him to direct her life. Ultimately, Rosa begins to question her relationship with her husband and her parents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Espinosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wings Press (TX)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916727895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaria Espinosa\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including the novels \u003ci\u003eDark Plums\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDying Unfinished\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIncognito\u003c\/i\u003e, and two books of poetry, \u003ci\u003eLove Feelings\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNight Music\u003c\/i\u003e.
