Description

Based on her second marriage to Frank Russell and a pre-cursor to Daphne du Maurier s ‘Rebecca , this darkly comic, historical romance is the tale of a naïve young woman named Lucy Entwhistle.

When Lucy marries a widower, she is swept under the power of her pathologically narcissistic husband.

Her new husband s mansion ‘The Willows is haunted by the spirit of his late wife, Vera, whom Lucy soon comes to suspect died by suicide because she no longer wanted to ensure being married to Everard Wemyss.

‘Vera is perfect for fans of Emily Brontë s Wuthering Heights .
