The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth

More about the book

"A philandering art dealer tries to give up casual love affairs - seeking only passionate kisses as a substitute. A man recounts his personal history through the things he has stolen throughout his life. And, at the heart of the book, 24-year-old Bethany Mellmoth embarks on a year-long journey of self-discovery. The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth brilliantly depicts the impulsive decisions that shape a life, and the endless hesitations and loss of nerve that complicate it.".
