Description

‘Women are never lazy. They don't know what it is to be quiet. They are Semiramides, and Cleopatras, and Joan of Arcs, Queen Elizabeths, and Catharine the Seconds... To call them the weaker sex is to utter a hideous mockery. They are the stronger sex, the nosier, the more persevering, the most self-assertive sex.’

The beautiful and innocent-seeming Lady Audley is uncovered in this stunning novel that combines a crime thriller with historical drama to create an unputdownable tale that has been perennially popular since its publication in 1862.

Lady Audley's Secret delves into themes of identity, deception, and the roles of women in Victorian society. With its intricate plot and compelling characters, this novel continues to captivate readers and remains a classic piece of sensation fiction.
