Product Information
Be whisked away into a world of naive wonder, idealized love and adolescent oaths. Considered one of the greatest works of French literature, The Lost Estate perfectly captures that magical period of youth when emotions are at their most intense. This coming-of-age tale carries all the hallmarks of Romanticism, and was a key influence to The Great Gatsby. - Caitlin, The Book Grocer
