An exquisitely written historical epic from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering, reissued in a beautiful new series style

'Wonderfully written...a fascinating episode...which never loses its momentum or its sharpness of focus' The Times

Beautiful Irishwoman Eliza Lynch became briefly, in the 1860s, the richest woman in the world. We first encounter her in Paris, in bed with Francisco Solano Lopez - heir to the untold wealth of Paraguay. The fruit of their congress will be extraordinary, and will send her across the Atlantic on a regal voyage to claim her glorious future in Asunci n.

The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch is a bold and brilliantly achieved novel about sex, beauty and corruption at the end of the old world.

Wonderfully written...a fascinating episode...which never loses its momentum or its sharpness of focus * The Times *
Richness, texture, irony and razzle-dazzle are underpinned by a probing irony and a finely tuned historical sense... The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch is a star turn: what on earth will she do next? * Financial Times *
