Produktbeschreibung

"East Lynne," a gripping novel by Ellen Wood, delves into the life of Lady Isabel Carlyle, a woman ensnared by deception and misplaced trust. Misled into believing her husband's infidelity, Isabel tragically leaves her family, succumbing to an elopement with her suitor. This decision spirals into regret as she bears a child with a man who eventually abandons her. Suffering further misfortune, Isabel is disfigured in a train accident that also claims her child's life. Unrecognizable and stricken with grief, she returns to her former home as a governess. In this new role, she endures the heartache of caring for her children from a distance, children now belonging to her husband and his new wife. This poignant tale weaves a narrative of loss, identity, and the relentless pursuit of redemption, set against the rigid backdrop of Victorian society.
