Synopsis of The Doves of Venus
The Doves of Venus es una novela de Olivia Manning, publicada por primera vez en 1955. La historia sigue a Ellie Parsons, una joven de dieciocho años que deja su hogar en la ciudad costera de Eastsea para buscar independencia y experiencia en Londres. Allí, encuentra un trabajo pintando muebles "antiguos" y se involucra en una relación amorosa con Quintin Bellot, un hombre de mediana edad. La vida de Quintin está marcada por su ex esposa neurótica, Petta, quien acecha los pubs de King's Road con bohemios y alberga sentimientos negativos hacia las "niñas" de Quintin. Ellie, con la impulsividad de la juventud, descubre las complicaciones de un romance con un hombre casado.
