Summary
"From the first page...the reader is back in the
moody, brooding atmosphere of
Rebecca." -*The New York Times***
From the bestselling author of Rebecca, another classic
set in beautiful and mysterious Cornwall.
Philip Ashley's older cousin Ambrose, who raised the
orphaned Philip as his own son, has died in Rome. Philip, the
heir to Ambrose's beautiful English estate, is crushed that
the man he loved died far from home. He is also suspicious.
While in Italy, Ambrose fell in love with Rachel, a beautiful
English and Italian woman. But the final, brief letters
Ambrose wrote hint that his love had turned to paranoia and
fear. Now Rachel has arrived at Philip's newly inherited estate.
Could this exquisite woman, who seems to genuinely share
Philip's grief at Ambrose's death, really be as cruel as
Philip imagined? Or is she the kind, passionate woman with
whom Ambrose fell in love? Philip struggles to answer this
question, knowing Ambrose's estate, and his own future, will
be destroyed if his answer is wrong.
