Mrs Sartoris |
Translated from German, this contemporary first novel tells of destructive forces following lost love. Margaret, a passionate woman jilted by her first lover, suffers a mental breakdown, then settles for a secure but boring marriage to Ernst. Some years later she embarks on an affair, and once again is jilted. Her emotions erupt. An unpredictable tragedy follows, entwining her story with that of her daughter's. Cleverly constructed to keep you reading to the end!
