Trelasco is a Cornish village of woods and river paths, where old Manley the carpenter can remember no locked gate in eighty years. Against this quiet setting Braddon tells a story of marriage, absence and temptation, its chapters headed with lines from Victorian love poetry and its drama played out among gentry, village gossips and a disputed right of way.
Late Braddon from the author of Lady Audley’s Secret, more psychological than sensational. Download the free EPUB.
