Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In her fifties, Mrs. Frances Trollope became famous overnight for her book attacking the United States. Twenty-five years later, she sharpens her pen for her most controversial work yet -- the biography of her old friend, the radical and feminist Fanny Wright. She recalls the 1820s when the young Fanny erupted into the Trollopes' sleepy English cottage like a volcano, her red hair flying, her talk aflame with utopian ideals. Before long, Wright convinced her to follow her to America, a journey of extreme penury, frontier hardships, and the most satisfying sensual romance of Frances Trollope's life.
Fanny: A Fiction is a wonderful new departure for Edmund White -- a quirky, dazzling story of two extraordinary nineteenth-century women, and a vibrant, questioning exploration of the nature of idealism, the clay feet of heroes, and the illusory power of the American dream.
Review:
"A brilliantly structured, wonderfully engaging tragicomedy of historic and panoramic yet human proportions."
Kirkus, 08/01/2003
Review:"White recreates [this world] with an audacity, wit and stylistic swagger way beyond the capabilities of his matter-of-fact mouthpiece. One feels that, however arduous the research, he must have hugely enjoyed writing his novel. It is certainly hugely enjoyable to read."
Francis King, Literary Review, August 2003
