Isabelle - Annette Kobak

She stands between Baudelaire and the Beat Generation, a rebel without a cause...'
'Isabelle Eberhardt, the brilliant young French writer who died at 27 in 1904, found, like T.E. Lawrence, an identity for her complex, sexually ambiguous personality in the desert among the Arab people.

'Deeply researched, beautifully written and a compelling read' - Juliet Stevenson
'A fascinating book of a truly amazing woman' Daily Mail
