Idolising her parents, she learns from childhood to equate love with self-sacrifice, so that when she falls in love with the fiance of her closest friend, renunciation of this unworthy passion initially brings her a peculiar sort of happiness. But the passing of time reveals a different truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIronic, brief and intensely realised, The Life and Death of Harriett Frean (1922) is a brilliant study of female virtue seen as vice, and stands with the work of Virgina Woolf and Dorothy Richardson as one of the great innovative novels of the century.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919188803742,"sku":"ING-9780860681069","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780860681069.jpg?v=1782808693","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780860681069","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
