Sobre IBD

A hook: a forbidden passion meets social restraint in a city where reputation is currency and desire must be carefully weighed.Beyond The Rocks: A Love Story revives Elinor Glyn’s quintessential classic romance novel for modern readers, offering a melodramatic romance fiction that probes love triangles, gender and desire, and the pressures of postwar society. Set within a sharp, metropolitan Britain, the story is both intimate and observant, capturing the tensions of modern romance with a clarity that resonates with today’s romance fiction fans and classic literature readers alike. It is more than a tale of hearts and headlines; it’s a portrait of a generation negotiating reputation, ambition, and yearning on the cusp of social change.This new Alpha Editions edition honours the work’s literary and historical significance, honouring its place in the silent film era’s adaptations and the early film romance genre that helped shape twentieth century romance satire. Readers will recognise its enduring appeal, whether approaching it as a casual, page-turning romance or as a work of cultural memory that informs film, theatre, and literature.Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.A treasure for both casual readers and discerning collectors, this edition invites a fresh engagement with a beloved pillar of British metropolitan romance.
