Fowles, John - The French Lieutenant's Woman

In this brilliant novel, one of the most successful and highly praised books of the decade, John Fowles has evoked in perfect detail the Victorian world of repressed sexuality and cruel hypocrisy.  In the central figures of Charles Smithson and the ostracised Sarah Woodruff he has created two figures who, seeking to escape from the cant and tyranny of their age, achieve an epic and tragic stature.
