Description

Lady Audley’s Secret is a thrilling page-turner portraying evil intentions and murderous schemes amidst Victorian gender conventions and class structure. It was an instant bestseller upon first publication in 1862.

When newcomer Lucy Graham, a young and beautiful governess, meets the village’s wealthy widower, Sir Michael Audley, he is immediately smitten. The couple marry, and Lucy’s fortune and position are completely changed. Nobody really knows where she came from or where she grew up, but Lucy is now universally loved. Sir Michael’s nephew Robert is the only one who harbours a few suspicions and wants to find out more. What shadows might lurk in Lucy’s past? Why has Robert’s close friend George Talboys vanished all of a sudden, and does the new Lady Audley have something to do with it?


Madame Bovary, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Jane Eyre are also available in this Macmillan Collector’s Library series of gorgeous paperbacks featuring four of the most scandalous novels ever published.
About Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in 1837 in London. Her parents separated when she was young, and her brother later moved to Tasmania. Braddon decided to try her hand at fiction in order to support herself and her mother, and wrote her debut novel in 1860. The serial publication of her fourth novel, Lady Audley’s Secret, in 1862, was a huge success. Braddon became wealthy. She lived with the publisher John Maxwell while he was still married to his wife. Though Maxwell publicly claimed they were legally married, he would only marry Mary in 1874 after the death of his first wife. Braddon wrote over eighty novels, and died in 1915.
