Produktbeschreibung

Three young women bound by ties deeper than blood are swept up in a web of intrigue and betrayal in this haunting gothic tale Rebecca Mandeville arrives at Manorleigh with her mother amid rumors that Rebecca's politically ambitious stepfather may have murdered his first wife. Homesick for her native Cornwall, Rebecca feels she'll never belong at Benedict Lansdon's ancestral estate-a place haunted by the phantoms of past crimes. When tragedy strikes, Rebecca struggles to move on, and becomes inextricably linked to two young girls: her half-sister Belinda and an orphan named Lucie. Teeming with scandal and murder, The Changeling is at once an atmospheric ghost tale and a gripping story of familial betrayal as powerful as the woman at its haunting center.

Autorenporträt

Philippa Carr (1906-1993) was one of the twentieth century's premier authors of historical fiction. She was born Eleanor Alice Burford, in London, England. Over the course of her career, she used eight pseudonyms, including Jean Plaidy and Victoria Holt-pen names that signaled a riveting combination of superlative suspense and the royal history of the Tudors and Plantagenets. Philippa Carr was Burford's last pseudonym, created in 1972. The Miracle at St. Bruno's, the first novel in Carr's acclaimed Daughters of England series, was followed by nineteen additional books. Burford died at sea on January 18, 1993. At the time of her death, there were over one hundred million copies of her books in print, and her popularity continues today.
