The sealed letter - Emma Donoghue
KORTE INHOUD
Based on the details of a scandalous divorce case that gripped England in 1864, The Sealed Letter is a provocative historical drama that is strangely relevant to modern issues surrounding women, marriage, rights and roles.
Miss Emily Fido Faithfull is a woman of business and a spinster pioneer of the British womens movement, independent of mind but naively trusting of heart. Distracted from her beloved cause by the sudden return of her once-dear friend, the unhappily wed Helen Codrington, Fido is swept up in the intimate details of Helens failing marriage to the stodgy Admiral Harry Codrington. What begins as a loyal effort to help a friend explodes into a courtroom drama more sensational than any Hollywood tabloid could inventwith stained clothing, accusations of adultery, counterclaims of rape and a mysterious letter that could destroy more than one life.
