The Wilder Shores of Love
The Wilder Shores of Love is a work of non-fiction by travel writer Lesley Blanch.[1] It was first published in 1954.[1][2] It is a colourful account of four women – Isabel Burton, Jane Digby, Aimée du Buc de Rivéry and Isabelle Eberhardt – who left Europe to live in the Middle East.[2][3]
The title of the novel inspired subsequent works.
