Written by Nobel Prize-winning author Anatole France, it chronicles the passionate and ill-fated love affair between a married Parisian noblewoman, Thérèse Martin-Bellème, and the poet Jacques Dechartre, unfolding amidst the art, beauty, and intellectual circles of late 19th-century Tuscany. France presents the story with his characteristic blend of irony, psychological depth, and lyrical prose, illuminating the tensions between social convention and personal desire. Translated into English by Winifred Stephens, the novel remains a celebrated work of European realism, admired for its vivid evocation of place and its nuanced portrait of human passion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956341453019,"sku":"2026200008441-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9e8a0285-0043-4294-b261-21a141425035.png?v=1783499869","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008441-secondhand-the-red-lily","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
