Bestselling novelist Louis Bayard brings Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance out from the shadows of history and creates a poignant story of secrets, loss, and love. 1892: Oscar Wilde and his family have retreated to the idyllic countryside for a holiday. Constance has every reason to be happy: two beautiful sons, her own work as an advocate for feminist causes, and a delightfully charming husband, who also happens to be the most sought-after author in England. But with the arrival of an unexpected houseguest, Constance comes to see that her husband’s heart is elsewhere. With Bayard’s trademark sparkling dialogue and deep insight into the lives and longings of all his characters, “The Wildes” could almost have been created by Oscar Wilde himself.
Books available from Left Bank Books.
