In Ornament and Silence we see Virginia Woolf, haunted and eventually destroyed by the sexual secrets of her childhood. We meet Flaubert's theatrically importunate mistress, Louise Colet, the one woman who could briefly slip past the master's misogyny. Fraser offers vibrant portraits of the Russian novelist Nina Berberova and the English naturalist Miriam Rothschild. And here is Fraser herself, learning her craft at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, \u003c\/i\u003etending her English garden and--on every page--delighting us with the manifold felicities of her prose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kennedy Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375701125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375701122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.49w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/24\/1998 pg. 20","brand":"Kennedy Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050195775743,"sku":"9780375701122","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bf763e0-b9ba-4579-8ea9-1b30ad4758fa.jpg?v=1685005795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ornament-and-silence-kennedy-fraser-9780375701122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
