Sinopsis

In "Jezebel's Daughter," Wilkie Collins intricately weaves a tale of love, betrayal, and the powerful bonds between mothers and daughters, all set against the backdrop of Victorian society's moral constraints. Collins employs his characteristic blend of sensationalism and psychological depth, utilizing a first-person narrative that immerses the reader in the complex emotional landscapes of his characters. The novel confronts themes of gender, societal expectations, and the repercussions of personal choices through the lens of its vivid protagonists, particularly in the figure of the enigmatic and tragic Jezebel, whose life reflects the struggles of women navigating a patriarchal world. Wilkie Collins, a contemporary of Charles Dickens and a pioneer of detective fiction, often drew on his own experiences and observations of Victorian life to explore societal norms and human morality. His enduring fascination with the darker aspects of human nature, coupled with his interest in the plight of women in a repressive society, informs much of the narrative in "Jezebel's Daughter," highlighting the conflicts that arise from personal desire and societal expectation. This compelling novel is recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, gender studies, and psychological drama. Collins' rich prose and deft characterizations make "Jezebel's Daughter" a significant exploration of the complexities of love and morality, inviting readers to ponder the facets of human relationships and societal constraints.

    Another nail-biter from best-selling author Willow Rose! It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life when her kidnapped daughter returned, but it wasn’t. Fourteen years ago, Clarissa Smalls was born, and a few hours later, she was taken from the hospital. Kidnapped. Her mother searched desperately for her for years, but she never found her. Until now. When Clarissa Smalls is suddenly found in the swamps of Central Florida, badly bruised and confused, it is cause for much joy and celebration in her family, especially with her mother, who has waited 14 years to see her baby girl again. Little did she know that this day would end up being the worst in her life. Because Clarissa doesn’t want to know about her mother, she refuses to talk to anyone, and won’t tell the police what happened to her. When another baby girl is kidnapped from the same hospital in the same manner, the police believe it’s the same kidnapper who took Clarissa. Suddenly, time is of the essence to make her answer the many questions that are piling up. Where was she for 14 years? Who took her? Why won’t she tell them who her kidnapper is? The FBI brings in former profiler Eva Rae Thomas to help them in this very peculiar case. Eva Rae Thomas knows the girl’s mother very well and is willing to go to great lengths to help her out, even though the two of them share an unpleasant history. Eva Rae Thomas’ sister recently came back into her life after being kidnapped 35 years ago, so the FBI hopes she can contribute with a deeper understanding of the situation and maybe get through to Clarissa. Little could she have known that soon she would wish that she never got involved in this, as the case becomes very personal for her.
