At twenty-one his theatrical genius brought down the house. At thirty, his past-and his forbidden love-nearly brought down the curtain for good. This is a compelling Victorian saga of two men whose love for each other transcends time and distance-and the society that considers it an abomination. Set in the last twenty years of the 19th century, \u003cem\u003eThe Phoenix \u003c\/em\u003eis a multi-layered historical novel that illuminates poverty and child abuse, theatre history in America and England, betrayal, a crisis of conscience, violence and vengeance, and the treatment of insanity at a time when such treatment was in its infant stage. Most of all it is a tale of love on many levels, from carnal to devoted friendship to sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Sims\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590210468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590210468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lethe Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Ruth Sims","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896857321727,"sku":"9781590210468","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee89af5b-d0ff-45f7-b071-c02b1b5b36b3.jpg?v=1721372511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phoenix-ruth-sims-9781590210468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
