From cover:
Henry Chester, a domineering and puritanical Victorian artist, is in search of the perfect model. In nine-year-old Effie he finds her. Ten years later, lovely,childlike and sedated, Effie seems the ideal wife. But something inside her is about to awaken. Drawn by her lover, Mose, into a dangerous underworld of intrigue and blackmail, she meets Fanny Miller, the brothel keeper, and her shadowy daughter, Marta - murdered ten years ago on the day of Henry's weekly visit...

Released at the local bc meet today.

I came to today's Helsinki Bookcrossing meeting with absolutely no idea what was in store for me. I left with 19 books!! I'm excted to bring most of these home.

Thank you for the warm welcome Saarahoo. I'll try to take at least one of your books home to Canada - but I'm not sure how many of them can fit in my luggage! This book sounds exceptionally disturbing...

Picked this up from Crataegus. Sounds like a great gothic story. Looking forward to this one.
