It was a secret kept for fifty years...

The bewitching novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of CATHERINE: A RETELLING OF WUTHERING HEIGHTS - for fans of Sarah Waters and Tracy Chevalier.

When journalist Ed Peters unearths a dusty old photograph of the alluring and reclusive silent-film actress Leda Grey, he is instantly enchanted.

Captivated by the image, he searches for Leda - and finds her still living, alone in a decaying cliff-top house by the sea. There, after a fifty-year silence, she's finally ready to share her incredible story.

She tells of a dark love affair, of obsession and jealousy, and the glamorous world of early cinema.

She tells of a world filled with secrets and lies, and of a past far more haunting than any of the silent films that Leda Grey once starred in.

批評家のレビュー

A richly evocative story, brimming with intrigue and suspense
Leda Grey's world is utterly beguiling (Antonia Senior)
Dark, haunting, compelling... equal to DuMaurier's novels - this book held me in its grip. Loved it.
Macabre, transporting, thick with atmosphere and allusion
Darkly sparkling. Very much enjoyed my days in Leda's twilight world. Doubt I'll sleep all that well tonight...
Shades of Sunset Boulevard in this atmospheric chiller
A wonderfully creepy tale. Leda is a triumph
An obvious comparison is with early Sarah Waters. The glee with which Fox approaches her material is infectious. All Victorian life is here. Intriguing
A deliciously eerie affair... A story of obsession, jealousy, mysterious deaths and theatrically supernatural goings-on as very strange truths are tantalisingly revealed
Fox's tale of obsessive love is memorable and unusual
A richly textured, highly coloured and entirely pleasurable read
A fabulous foray into a shadowy Victorian world
I loved this book and recommend it to anyone looking for a delightfully immersive and imaginative spell in the past
Fox's vivid, sensual prose is - fittingly - as seductive as a siren's song, drawing you into a shadowy Victorian world of obsession and guilt... An intoxicating follow-up to 2011's acclaimed The Somnambulist. Recommended to fans of Sarah Waters
