Historical | Fiction
Spring 1915. On a sprawling country estate not far from
London, a young woman mourns her husband, fallen on a
distant battlefield. The eerie stillness in which she
grieves is abruptly shattered as her home is transformed
into a bustling military hospital. Recoiling from the
chaos, unhinged by grief, the young widow finds unexpected
refuge in a tender young soldier whose face, concealed by
bandages, she cannot see. Their affair takes a fateful turn
when she confronts--and seizes upon--the opportunity to
remake her lover in the image of her lost husband. THE
CRIMSON PORTRAIT is a novel of glittering surfaces that
belie dark truths. Its rich cast comes into focus as the
novel peels back layers of suspense and intrigue to
illuminate the abiding mysteries of affinity and desire.
