Book Review: The Bad Girl

Larry Bowlden reviews The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa 

A young Peruvian, Ricardo, falls in love with Lily on the basis of lies about her wealthy background. Her lies come to light and they part. When Ricardo moves to Europe to realize his dream to be a Parisian, he encounters her again over the course of 40 years, each time with a new alibi. This personal story of desire is interwoven with the historical background of leftist movements around the world in the latter third of the 20th century.
