Sinopse

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.

While Augusta Hawke is a successful author of eighteen crime novels, since her husband's death, she's been living vicariously through her Jules Maigret-like detective Claude and his assistant Caroline. Then a handsome police detective appears investigating a real-life mystery.

Where are her neighbors, the Normans? No one has a clue what's happened—except Augusta. Although she isn't nosy, spending all day staring out the windows for inspiration means she does notice things. Like the Normans arguing. And that they've been missing a week.

Once the Normans' car is found abandoned, Augusta senses material for a bestseller and calls on the investigatory skills she's developed as a crime writer. But she soon uncovers long-hidden secrets and finds herself facing real-life dangers her characters never faced . . . ones she can't write her way out of.
