Alison Rattle: The Beloved, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

I am Alice Angel. I am sixteen years old. I am not mad. But I am a bad person.

It is 1848, and Alice is trapped in an unloving home with a vicious mother. She longs for escape, and then a chance encounter with an enigmatic stranger gives her the blessed opportunity.

Henry Prince - or The Beloved to his followers - promises Alice a life of love, devotion and freedom. A respite from Victorian conformity and cruelty. He is Alice's saviour . . . Until he becomes her jailer.

Suddenly Alice must decide what freedom really means to her - and what price she is willing to pay for it.
