At its core, Helen is a novel about lying—not lies told in malice, but the self-destructive lies one tells to those one loves. The story of orphan Helen Stanley and her friend Lady Cecilia Clarendon, and the crumbling of Lady Cecilia’s marriage, this compelling tale foreshadows later nineteenth-century novels of marital unrest and disaster.
