Product Description
Newly discovered nearly 130 years after it was written, Louisa May Alcott's most exciting and controversial work is finally available to the public in paperback. This is the suspenseful story of obsessive love so modern, it could have been ripped from today's headlines--and so thrilling, readers will be riveted until the last heart-pounding page. Soon to be an NBC-TV miniseries. A LG featured selection.
Amazon.com Review
Rosamond Vivian, brought up on a remote island by an indifferent grandfather, swears she'd sell her soul to Satan for a year of freedom. When Philip Tempest enters her life, she is ripe for the plucking, but is soon caught up in a web of intrigue, cruelty and deceit stretching back far into the past. Remarkable for its portrayal of a sensual, spirited Victorian heroine, Louisa May Alcott's work, too shocking to be published during her lifetime, tells a compulsive tale of love, desire and deceit. Its publication more than a century after being written marks a new page in literary history.
