Kirkus Reviews Poor -- that is rich -- little Lucy is married off to a sepulchral Baron Clare in spite of her own disinclinations and the warnings of Jonathan, a solicitor's clerk, who awakens her to the issues of child labor and women's rights -- perhaps more. But during her lonely time at the Baron's Greygallows -- only servants and a ghost are about -- Clare keeps his distance from her (not her money) and you'll be hard put to guess what he won't think of next. Victorian Gothic, to be taken with that grain of smelling salts. (Kirkus Reviews, October 1, 1972) Not knowing the past of her charming and handsome suitor, Lucy Cartwright accepts his marriage proposal. Innocently following Baron Clare to his estate, Lucy has no idea that he is leading her into a world of betrayal and danger. Suddenly she realizes the man of her fondest dreams has become the source of her worst nightmares, and she must devise a way out geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Trusting his kind words and gentle manner, she agreed to be his wife and followed the enigmatic lord to Greygallows, his sprawling country estate. But mystery, deception, betrayal, and danger surround the magnificent manor-a ghostly secret charges the atmosphere and terror reigns in its shadowed hallways. Lucy entered Greygallows willingly . . . and now she may never leave. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Lucy's a little anachronistic in that she's got some feminist leanings long before Simone de Beauvoir and Gloria Steinem were born, but it's a good read. ( )
