The French Lieutenant's Woman. Женщина французского лейтенанта. Intermediate. Fowles J

Every day Sarah comes to the pier and stands there for a long time, looking at the raging sea, hoping to see the French officer who left her. The prim England of the Victorian era does not forgive such escapades,... and everyone shuns the "woman of the French lieutenant." However, Charles cannot resist the alluring power of this woman and abandons his fiancée for her. The protagonists of the novel vacillate between a sense of duty, moral demands, and passionate love until the apotheosis of love occurs. And what happens next? The author does not want to be a moralist and does not give a definitive answer to this question, offering the reader three options for the further fate of the characters.
