About this audiobook
It was a secret kept for fifty years...
The bewitching novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of CATHERINE: A RETELLING OF WUTHERING HEIGHTS - for fans of Sarah Waters and Tracy Chevalier.
When journalist Ed Peters unearths a dusty old photograph of the alluring and reclusive silent-film actress Leda Grey, he is instantly enchanted.
Captivated by the image, he searches for Leda - and finds her still living, alone in a decaying cliff-top house by the sea. There, after a fifty-year silence, she's finally ready to share her incredible story.
She tells of a dark love affair, of obsession and jealousy, and the glamorous world of early cinema.
She tells of a world filled with secrets and lies, and of a past far more haunting than any of the silent films that Leda Grey once starred in.
'Leda Grey's world is utterly beguiling' THE TIMES Book of the Month
'A richly evocative story, brimming with intrigue and suspense' M.L. Stedman, author of THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS
