In her 1916 ghost story, Kerfol, Edith Wharton tells of Anne de Barrigan, a young woman convicted of murdering her jealous husband. The elderly lord was found on the stairs, apparently savaged by a pack of dogs, though there were no dogs - no live dogs - at Kerfol that day. In these remarkable intertwining stories, Deborah Noyes returns to the manor to tell de Barrigan's story through the sympathetic eyes of her servant girl. Four more tales slip forward in time, following characters haunted by the ghosts of Kerfol - the dead dogs; the sensual, uneasy relationships; and the bitter taste of revenge.
Look carefully! The wild animals of Africa spring to life in
clever, lighthearted poems and compelling, evocative photographs.
"From the Hardcover edition."
At the end of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel, The Scarlet
Letter, we know that Pearl, the elf-child daughter of Hester
Prynne, is somewhere in Europe, comfortable, well set, a mother
herself now. But it could not have been easy for her to arrive at
such a place, when she begins life as the bastard child of a woman
publicly humiliated, again and again, in an unrelentingly
judgmental Puritan world.
