A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Stephen Glennard, an impoverished lawyer in the glamorous and money-driven society of New York, has one valuable possession: the letters written to him by the eminent and now deceased author Margaret Aubyn. He has seldom read the letters - he took their writer for granted herself - but they assume an importance for Glennard when it becomes clear that their financial worth will ensure his future stability and pay for his marriage to the beautiful Alexa Trent. What he fails to realise is that Aubyn's ghost, once unleashed upon the reading public, will exercise an influence over his own life that reduces all his hopes and pleasures to ashes.

Biographie de l'auteur :

American novelist Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) is known for her finely crafted stories of New York mores, including 'The Age of Innocence'. Salley Vickers is a writer, lecturer and psychologist and a regular speaker at literary conferences. Her novel 'Miss Garnet's Angel' was hugely successful and she has recently followed this with the best-selling 'Instances of the Number Three'.
