Dark AngelBantam Books, 1991 - 832 من الصفحات "A sullen waif grown to dazzling womanhood, Constance Shawcross becomes the protegee of the wealthy Cavendish family at their great estate, Winterscombe. There she learns to love privilege-and to weave deceptions. She discovers the allure of her own seductiveness, and she makes a glittering marriage to the one man who loves her in spite of her lies-or perhaps because of them. But always Constance harbors doubts and fantasies about the Cavendishes, going back to an April night in 1910 and an "accident" Constance calls murder. Finally, it is her goddaughter, Victoria, the last Cavendish, with whom Constance shares this, her most secret obsession. She gives Victoria her diaries to discover in them-if she can-the truth of that shocking death. But are the diaries a gift of love-or a final malicious tease, holding the power to destroy all Victoria holds dear?--BOOK COVER |
