A Real Page Turner

Orginally published under the title "An Unfinished Tapestry", this book is definitely one of the finest gothics I have ever read.I could barely bring myself to put it down even for a second, but at over 400 pages I had no choice.Set in the mid 1800's at the wealthy family estate of the Darbys, the book's characters, dialogue and descriptions all fit the era perfectly.The story revolves around a young woman named Lillith Chatfield, who upon the death of her father and brother finds herself in dire need of employment.She arrives at Darby Manor having answered a somewhat vague ad that she thinks is for a governess. What she encounters instead is Lord Darby trying to engineer an arranged marriage between her and his crippled son, Damien. Mystery, intrigue and even murder are encountered by our stalwart heroine as she tries to discover not only the truth about the Darbys and the mysterious Anitra, but the confusion of her own emotions.
