Bethany Randford had come into some money and, after finishing her schooling in Australia, decided to buy a hotel in Buenos Aires, way out of her comfort zone, but met the man she could just not resist. Marrying him brought more than she had bargained for, from ongoing obsessions of a woman in the family past. Thinking that had been dealt with, she went with her husband to Paris to meet his sister and family, only to find herself in even more dramatic circumstances with obstacles to overcome. Bethany was thrust into danger, something she did not expect on a holiday, and it was a relief for her to visit her family in Western Australia again to recover before returning to Buenos Aires.

Bethany Randford arrived in Buenos Aries, Argentina, from Australia in the hunt for a small hotel she could possibly afford. She had seen it advertised in a hotel real estate newspaper and called ahead to book a visit to see if it would be what she was hoping for. She was met at the airport by Alessandro Rodrigos who was the hotel manager and for them both it was love at first sight. After a month they were married and it was only a short time later their differences surfaced. When their 2 year old son was kidnapped it was the turning point to reassess their marriage.Sandro's father had been shot at the family ranch and was unable to walk which made Sandro very busy with his care. Meanwhile a woman who claimed she was impregnated by Sandro's uncle was causing trouble, she claimed her son was the now dead elder brother's child and as the woman with the Mistaken Obsession would not leave them alone, despite all the proof they could find to change her story. Sandro's father shot Maria and her son after her husband Matias died of a terrible poisoning attack, which Sandro accused Maria of saying she had to get Matias out of the way to make a claim against the ranch as he was trying to stop her.Eventually all was resolved and Sandro and Bethany and their two children set off to Paris to visit with Ana, Sandro's sister that he had not seen for some years. However, it was not the joyful reunion they intended.

What is the role of the senses in the creation and reception of poetry? How does poetry carry on the long tradition of making experience and suffering understood by others? With Poetry and the Fate of the Senses, Susan Stewart traces the path of the aesthetic in search of an explanation for the role of poetry in culture. Herself an acclaimed poet, Stewart not only brings the intelligence of a critic to the question of poetry, but the insight of a practitioner as well. Her new study includes close discussions of poems by Stevens, Hopkins, Keats, Hardy, Bishop, and Traherne, of the sense of vertigo in Baroque and Romantic works, and of the rich tradition of nocturnes in visual, musical, and verbal art. Ultimately, she argues that poetry can counter the denigration of the senses in contemporary life and can expand our imagination of the range of human expression. Poetry and the Fate of the Senses won the 2004 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of Newton Arvin, administered for the Truman Capote Estate by the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. It also won the Phi Beta Kappa Society's 2002 Christian Gauss Award for Literary Criticism.
