'Irresistible - a funny, sexy romp that's also smart, even wise' Kirkus
'Pure elegance, subtlety and wit. A triumph of a novel' - Francesca Segal, author of Mother Ship
It is 1954, and prostitution is legal in the tropical haven that is Verona Island. Here, among gangsters and corrupt lawmen, Lila Gulliver runs a brothel that promises her exclusive clientele privacy and discretion. When nineteen-year-old CaritĂ , beautiful and blind since birth, comes to her door seeking employment, Mrs. Gulliver sees a business opportunity and takes a chance. CaritĂ is mesmerising, sharp and a mystery to her employer, always holding herself at a distance.
One night, the son of a wealthy judge patronises Mrs. Gulliver's establishment, immediately falling madly in love with CaritĂ . This is Ian Drohan - young, idealistic and cushioned by wealth and family connections. Mrs. Gulliver mistrusts him, and worries for CaritĂ 's future. CaritĂ , on the other hand, is fearless, headstrong and a force of nature that Mrs. Gulliver is always several steps behind.
A dazzling drama filled with sex, wry wit and literary references, Mrs. Gulliver follows two women who have nothing to lose in their fight for agency on an island too ready to dismiss them.
