Produktbeschreibung
In Mary Roberts Rinehart's Sight Unseen, a popular and seemingly healthy man, is found dead, initially ruled a suicide, the neighbors are not convinced, questioning whether his death was truly self-inflicted or influenced by the pressures of his young wife, known for her lively social life and multiple affairs. The stigma surrounding suicide looms large, complicating their feelings and highlighting societal attitudes towards mental health and moral failing. The narrative unfolds events from six or seven years earlier to World War I. The story is told by a lawyer in his early 50s. Rinehart skillfully brings her characters to life, including the pompous lawyer, his loyal but suspicious wife, and the spirited Mrs. Dane, an elderly woman in a wheelchair whose vibrant personality drives the narrative. The novel masterfully intertwines psychological suspense with character development, challenging readers to question what is real and what is merely perceived.
