The Wilder Shores of Love is a work of non-fiction by travel writer Lesley Blanch.[1] It was first published in 1954.[1][2] It is a colourful account of four women – Isabel Burton, Jane Digby, Aimée du Buc de Rivéry and Isabelle Eberhardt – who left Europe to live in the Middle East.[2][3]

The title of the novel inspired subsequent works. A book of her travel writings entitled From Wilder Shores: The Tables of My Travels was published in 1989,[3] and an anthology of her shorter work, collected by Georgia de Chamberet, is titled Lesley Blanch: On the Wilder Shores of Love.[2]
