Set in Fowles's home town of Lyme Regis, this is the novel that finally established him as the leading British writer of his generation. Based on the skeleton of a true story, Fowles takes us into the nature of obsession, as an archaeologist and a local 'fallen' woman struggle with a powerful mutual attraction. In a truly post-modern work yet set in Victorian England, you are invited to choose your own ending...or are you?
