Book
The sealed letter : a novel / Emma Donoghue.
"Drawn from the details of a scandalous divorce case that gripped England in 1864, The Sealed Letter brings to life a world at once distant and strikingly modern. Emily "Fido" Faithfull is a 'woman of business' and a pioneer of the British women's movement, distracted from her beloved cause by the return of a once-dear friend, the unhappily married Helen Codrington. Fido's loyalty to her friend is tested as she is swpt up in the court case and the intimate details of the Codringtons' disastrous union - the substance of which is enthusiastically reported in the nation's daily newspapers. Accusations of adultery are followed by counter-charges of rape, and a mysterious letter surfaces, threatening to destroy several lives."-- back cover.
