About This Book

A newly married woman finds a cache of letters that reveal a shattering secret, which she perceives as a monstrous presence that invades her mind and threatens to destroy her happiness. Interwoven with this psychological crisis are episodes of European high society that examine secrecy, desire, reputation, and the collision of sensual pleasure with moral unease.
