Emma Donoghue 
Sealed Letter [EPUB ebook] 

Sokongan

Donoghue weaves an engrossing and… quite funny melodrama about a bad, bad girl who bursts the seams of this corseted world… part "Forever Amber" and part clockwork courtroom drama, with bawdy undercurrents of forbidden love thrown in for good measure. All in all, a deliciously wicked little romp, complete with a clever twist at the end." The Seattle Times Miss Emily "Fido" Faithfull is a "woman of business" and a spinster pioneer in the British womens movement, independent of mind but naively trusting of heart. Distracted from her cause by the sudden return of a once-dear friend, the unhappily wed Helen Codrington, Fido is swept up in the intimate details of Helens failing marriage and obsessive affair with a young army officer. What begins as a loyal effort to help a friend explodes into an intriguing courtroom drama complete withaccusations of adultery, counterclaims of rape, and a mysterious letter that could destroy more than one life.Based on a scandalous divorce case that gripped England in 1864, The Sealed Letteris a riveting, provocative drama of friends, lovers, and divorce, Victorian-style.
