Irene Iddesleigh by Amanda McKittrick Ros

Description

Written in a style entirely its own, Irene Iddesleigh tells a melancholy tale of forced marriage, unrequited loyalty, and dire misunderstanding in language that has to be quoted to be believed — every sentence landing somewhere between poetry and pure accident, with scarcely a rival for sheer singularity anywhere in fiction.

For decades lovers of literary oddity have cherished the book precisely because it cannot be improved or imitated. Beyond its famous strangeness, however, beats a genuinely earnest story of a young wife caught in the machinery of a cold marriage, told by an author who meant every word of it.

Why readers still come back to it

• The most famous unreadable novel in the English language.
• A beloved cult text for connoisseurs of literary singularity.
• Told with total earnestness and a style entirely its own.
