Beginning--and ending--at a point shortly before her death, the story told in \u003ci\u003eThe Limit\u003c\/i\u003e focuses attention on her past and his future along lines of narrowing perspective. In the ten years of this odd couple's life together, the limits of devotion have somehow been reached. And yet, when Anna can no longer speak and appears to understand nothing, Ilario feels closer to her than ever. But Anna, so old, ill, and wasted, is a child again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis altogether singular, remarkable novel has been as good as unobtainable for decades. Its reissue has been long awaited by Rosalind Belben's admirers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalind Belben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681377527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681377520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Rosalind Belben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130467086591,"sku":"9781681377520","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a161db5a-050a-4e27-ba8a-6d5aef9e1164.jpg?v=1687469525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-limit-rosalind-belben-9781681377520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
