Produktbeschreibung
A city that never sleeps becomes a stage for hearts that dare to dream. The Definite Object invites you into the pulse of turn of the century New York, where desire and duty collide against the buzzy, smoky backdrops of old New York literature. This romance in prose builds a vivid historical romance novel of urban life, where identity and love in cities are tested by social mores and the fierce pace of a growing metropolis. Farnol crafts a crisp, accessible narrative that feels intimate yet wide in scope, appealing to both casual readers and devoted historical fiction enthusiasts. The story reads as a living bridge between romance classic literature and the same era's social currents, offering a compelling exploration of love, class, and ambition in a city that shapes its inhabitants as much as they shape it. A note on literary significance: the work captures a pivotal moment in New York's cultural life, balancing romance with a keen reportage of the era's sensibilities. It speaks to readers who relish historical fiction and require a prose romance narrative that honours craft while still feeling modern in its energy. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A romance book club pick and a gateway to turn of the century classics for both enthusiasts and new readers alike.
