Summary
"The basis for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.

Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond"--
