Catherine Maxwell Knihy

Catherine embarks on a year of travel to heal after a tumultuous divorce and heartbreak. However, her journey is filled with unexpected challenges, including getting lost in foreign lands, dealing with bedbugs, and navigating the complexities of fleeting romantic encounters. This exploration reveals the realities of single parenting and the unpredictability of life on the road, contrasting her initial fantasies with the often humorous and difficult experiences she faces.

This book argues that, in Victorian literature, transgressive desires that cannot be openly acknowledged are often buried and encrypted in the marble bodies of statues.
