{"product_id":"schwartz-selby-wynn-after-sappho-9781913111397","title":"After Sappho","description":"It''s 1895. Amid laundry and bruises, Rina Pierangeli Faccio gives birth to the child of the man who raped her - and who she has also been forced to marry. Unbroken, she determines to change her name; and her life, alongside it. 1902. Romaine Brooks sails for Capri. She has barely enough money for the ferry, nothing for lunch; her paintbrushes are bald and clotted... But she is sure she can sell a painting - and is fervent in her belief that the island is detached from all fates she has previously suffered. In 1923, Virginia Woolf writes: I want to make life fuller - and fuller. Sarah Bernhardt - Colette - Eleanora Duse - Lina Poletti - Josephine Baker... these are just a few of the women sharing the pages of a novel as fierce as it is luminous. Lush and poetic; furious and funny; in After Sappho, Selby Wynn Schwartz has created a novel that celebrates the women and trailblazers of the past - their constant efforts to push against the boundaries of what it means, and can mean, to be a woman - that also offers hope for our present, and our futures.","brand":"Galley Beggar Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53227270963542,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53370280149334,"sku":"9781913111397-V","price":10.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781913111397_1_a54dbcc8-cbb6-4220-8b13-1e6f2cfe72d6.jpg?v=1777910392","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/schwartz-selby-wynn-after-sappho-9781913111397","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
