Lucy Entwhistle and Everard Wemyss are both reeling from recent unhappiness when they meet and swiftly fall in love. Lucy is Wemyss’s ‘sweet girl’, and to Lucy, Everard is the whole world. The only blot on Lucy’s happiness is the shadowy figure of Wemyss’s first wife, Vera, who died in mysterious circumstances. But it is not until the happy couple return home and begin their life of wedded bliss that Lucy really begins to wonder: what did happen to Vera?
This novel was partly based on Elizabeth von Arnim's second marriage to Frank Russell.
Condition
This copy is in very good condition for age. There is one or two minor bumps to the boards, a hint of fading to the spine and a little light spotting to the page edges but otherwise, a very good solid copy.
