Not exactly a romantic story but is a narrative of the severe obsession of Humbert Humbert with his landlady’s twelve years old daughter, Lolita. In order to be close to Lolita, he marries her mother and when she gets a bit older and starts looking for attention elsewhere, Humbert travels cross country in a frantic search for her. This novel is filled with lust, delusion and desire that Nabokov has poignantly told.
