Vera
Quelques mois après la mort mystérieuse de Vera, Everars Wemys se remarie avec Lucy, de vingt ans sa cadette. Mais le souvenir omniprésent de Vera, les doutes relatifs à sa mort (accident, suicide, voire crime ?) font planer sur le couple, qui s'est installé à la campagne, dans la grande maison où eut lieu le drame, une ombre noire que ni l'un ni l'autre ne parviendront à chasser. Après avoir lu Vera, Bertrand Russell, alors beau-frère d'Elizabeth von Arnim, avoua : " J'ai donné à mes enfants un conseil de prudence : n'épousez jamais une romancière ".

Born in Australia, she married a German aristocrat and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin and her second Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer H. G. Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield. Though known in early life as May, her first book introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she eventually became to friends and finally to family. Her writings are ascribed to Elizabeth von Arnim. She used the pseudonym Alice Cholmondeley only for a novel, Christine, published in 1917. [Wikipedia]
