Reflections in a Golden Eye

Synopsis

A new trade paperback edition of mccullers' second novel, reflections in a golden eye, immortalized by the 1967 film starring elizabeth taylor, marlon brando, and john houston. Set on a southern army base in the 1930s, reflections tells the story of captain penderton, a bisexual whose life is upset by the arrival of major langdon, a charming womanizer who has an affair with penderton's tempestuous and flirtatious wife, leonora. Upon the novel's publication in 1941, reviewers were unsure of what to make of its relatively scandalous subject matter.
