The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized the World by Sarah Weinman, out Sept. 11

Part true crime story, part literary mystery, The Real Lolita dives into the connection between the real-life kidnapping of Sally Horner and Vladimir Nabokov's masterpiece, Lolita. Was there no connection between the real-life story and the novel, as Nabokov's wife insisted? Or did this story serve as inspiration, as has been rumoured over the years? Gorgeously written, The Real Lolita reads like a novel and will thrill and captivate readers. I simply couldn't put it down.
