A contemporary love story that explores the mores of the urban 1960s--and 70s and 80s.\"--The New York Times Book Review\n\nRicardo Somocurcio is in love with a bad girl. 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 031242776X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.031242776X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vargas Llosa, Mario|Grossman, Edith\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
