Wild Nights (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781543451061)

This is an extraordinary love story, shocking in its day, shocking now. It is about the true story of the scandal that rocks a college town when its most prominent citizen, the married brother of Emily Dickinson, finds himself overwhelmed with desire for the college astronomy professor's wife. And she insists on her right to openly satisfy both husband and lover in what becomes a torrid, tumultuous, dangerous, long-term, and ultimately transcendent love triangle. This engrossing first novel by acclaimed playwright Ruth Wolff sensitively portrays the complexity of a shocking and scandalous ménage à trois, which begins as a sexual adventure and evolves into abiding love.
