Reportedly the inspiration for Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, this is a brilliantly dark exploration of marriage from the author of The Enchanted April

Lucy Entwhistle and Everard Wemyss are both reeling from recent unhappiness when they meet and swiftly fall in love. Lucy is Wemyss's 'sweet girl', and to Lucy, Everard is the whole world. The only blot on Lucy's happiness is the shadowy figure of Wemyss's first wife, Vera, who died in mysterious circumstances. But it is not until the happy couple return home and begin their life of wedded bliss that Lucy really begins to wonder: what did happen to Vera?

Praise for Vera

A sinister thriller

Independent

[Her books are] a revelation in their wit and... dry, unsentimental treatment of the relationship between men and women

Barbara Pym

Von Arnim didn't have much patience with the male ego, and she didn't have much more for the women who bowed beneath it
