Stranger on Lesbos

Stranger on Lesbos front cover. A blonde is seen, at a three-quarter angle with her back to the reader, towards the left, facing left of the cover. Her hair is partly undone, partially covering the back of her neck. She has bangs above her eyebrows. Her back is almost entirely exposed, a white lace blouse hanging beneath her shoulders, revealing the straps and back of her brassiere. She has her head bowed down halfway, and her eyes are closed. Her left hand touches her right cheek, and her right hand can be partially seen tucked under her left, folded arm. She wears what seem to be a black skirt. In front of her, to the left of the image, several garments can be seen hanging disorderly on a rack. To her right, a dresser with a mirror also displays several clothes sticking out from its drawers in a disordered fashion. A few objects lay on top of the dresser, including a book. The background is a texture of reds and oranges that range in tone. The scene is lit from the top left. The image is inserted inside a line frame that is curved at the bottom corners. Above the image, and over white, the title, author's name and descriptions are displayed in black and red type.
