Sealed Letter
Helen Codrington is unhappily married. Emily "Fido" Faithfull hasn't seen her once-dear friend for years. Suddenly, after bumping into Helen on the streets of Victorian London, Fido finds herself reluctantly helping Helen to have an affair with a young army officer. The women's friendship quickly unravels amid courtroom accusations of adultery, counter-accusations of cruelty and attempted rape, and the appearance of a mysterious "sealed letter" that could destroy more than one life... Based on a real-life scandal that gripped England in 1864, "The Sealed Letter" is a delicious tale of secrets, betrayal, and forbidden love. [4e de couv.]
