Lady Audley's Secret (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Hardcover
Description
by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (Author)
Lucy Graham has just married Sir Michael Audley, a middle-aged, rich, and kind widower. But Sir Michael's nephew, Robert, is suspicious of the fact that no one knows much about the new Lady Audley's past. Robert's friend, George, arrives to stay with the family after hearing the news that his wife passed away while he was in Australia, but Lady Audley avoids meeting him at all costs. Robert's suspicions about who Lady Audley really is grow, and are seemingly confirmed when George goes missing.
Lady Audley's Secret plays on Victorian anxieties about the domestic sphere. The home was supposed to be a refuge from the dangers of the outside world, but in the novel, the seemingly perfect domestic lady turns out to be a criminal. Elements of the novel mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent case of June 1860 which gripped the nation for years.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
