Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From Simon & Schuster, Odd Girl Out is Elizabeth Jane Howard's latest masterpiece. Anne and Edmund Cornhill lead idyllic existence all just outside of London -- until they open their hearts to Arabella, the "lost little rich girl" whose self-indulgent mother -- once married to Edmund's father -- wants a holiday from her burdensome twenty-two-year-old daughter. But what begins as a propitious arrangement spirals into a bewildering tangle of love, loneliness, and longing. Howard's fifth novel is the stoyr of a marriage that has lasted a decade and has settled into a comfortable and very pleasurable routine. Yet even the happiest relationship can be sabotaged easily--and quickly, too, if the wrong person should come along.
