Book Synopsis

The Penguin English Library Edition of Lady Audley''s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon

''Lady Audley uttered a long, low, wailing cry, and threw up her arms above her head with a wild gesture of despair''

In this outlandish, outrageous triumph of scandal fiction, a new Lady Audley arrives at the manor: young, beautiful - and very mysterious. Why does she behave so strangely? What, exactly, is the dark secret this seductive outsider carries with her? A huge success in the nineteenth century, the book''s anti-heroine - with her good looks and hidden past - embodied perfectly the concerns of the Victorian age with morality and madness.

The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
