Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of it's age.It really is an exceptional example for its cleanliness and brightness.
Miss Emily "Fido" Faithfull is a "woman of business" and a spinster pioneer in the British women's movement,independent of mind but naively trusting of heart.Distracted from her cause by the sudden return of a once-dear friend,the unhappily wed Helen Codrington, Fido is swept up in the intimate details of Helen's failing marriage and obsessive affair with a young army officer. What begins as a loyal effort to help a friend explodes into an intriguing courtroom drama complete with accusations of adultery, counterclaims of rape, and a mysterious letter that could destroy more than one life.
Based on a scandalous divorce case that gripped England in 1864, 'The Sealed Letter' is a riveting,provocative drama of friends,lovers, and divorce,Victorian-style.
