About This Book

A young woman marries a wealthy, domineering nobleman known for his blue beard; he gives her free run of his castle but forbids a single locked chamber. Driven by curiosity she opens it and discovers the gruesome fate of his former wives and a key stained with undeniable evidence. The husband returns intent on punishment, but her lover assembles aid and arrives in time to rescue her and reveal the villain. The narrative treats curiosity, secrecy, abusive power, and the precariousness of trust within intimate relationships.
