A Strange World, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint): A Novel: A Novel (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A dark, atmospheric voyage through secrets, inheritance, and the pull of memory. A curious traveler drifts between a stately Cornwall manor and a nearby village, where a gifted actress’s rise casts new light on a family’s past and the lives entwined with it.

Maurice Clissold, a restless writer, meets a world of old houses, sharp eyes, and quiet dangers. He observes portraits, asks hard questions, and navigates the delicate balance between charm and menace as he uncovers hints of a history that could reshape the present. Across the country lanes and sea-swept cliffs, the story blends memory, motive, and a delicate dance of trust and accusation.

- A vividly drawn setting: grand estates, seaside cliffs, and the lived texture of rural England.
- A cast of complex characters: a troubled heir, a devoted actress, a wary housekeeper, and a mysterious gipsy woman with a hidden past.
- Themes of memory, legitimacy, and the price of truth as past actions echo into the present.
- Sly suspense and a tone of moody, Victorian realism tied to theatre, inheritance, and family secrets.

Ideal for readers who enjoy intricate plots, atmospheric landscapes, and moral ambiguity in classical suspense.
