A young mother, snowed in during England’s worst winter for thirty years, takes her own life. The death is blamed on her husband’s mistress, Esther, a beautiful Russian-German refugee. This is her story, as it has never been told before.

A tale of literary lovers for lovers of literature, this is the story of an obsessive love and its tragic aftermath, seen through the author’s imagination. A wealth of research supports this fictional re-creation of a scandal that rocked literary London and the world. Names have been changed to respect the wishes of the Hughes Estate.

This edition contains extra historical background, throwing light on the true story, plus an extensive bibliography.
