Is there a rival--perhaps \"The Toad,\" the unattractive housewife next door--or someone else, who will completely surprise the reader, as do many of the events of the protagonist's story? At age sixty-two, Corinne must grapple with the most painful truth that her lifelong passion--which is anyone's passion, to love and be loved, body and soul--could burn unquenched forever. Her imaginative narrative even when she is lying is as revealing as bedrock truth. \u003ci\u003eA Lifetime Burning\u003c\/i\u003e is as real as life itself--a novel shimmering and vital and recognizably true. Gripping, smart, suspenseful, and at times, wonderfully witty, Douglas's widely acclaimed book forms a searching and searing record of love, anger, confession, and discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617036013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617036019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Ellen Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939232645375,"sku":"9781617036019","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c6d32277-9b09-4aaf-9a59-f689845c1940.jpg?v=1681440283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-lifetime-burning-ellen-douglas-9781617036019","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
