Three Weeks

In Switzerland, English nobleman Paul Verdayne meets a woman known only as "the Lady." After a few days of flirting, the Lady invites Paul to her apartment, where they spend three weeks filled with sex and passion. Then suddenly the mysterious Lady - who's older than Paul - disappears. The one that started it all! The scandalous novel that shocked the uptight society of the early 20th century. A pioneering book of risqué, erotic, romantic fiction. One of the first chick lit novels. Elinor Glyn (1864-1943) was a British novelist who moved to Hollywood, where she became a screenwriter in the 1920s. She also directed two movies. Glyn had a huge impact on early 20th century popular culture, and populized the concept of the It-girl.
