At its center is the plight of a woman who fears that the archaic marriage laws of Scotland and Ireland may have forced her into committing unintentional bigamy. As the novel progresses, the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister when the setting moves from a country house to a London suburb and a world of confinement, plotting, and murder. - Publisher. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bigamy $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Page, Norman. 830 0 $a Oxford world's classics (Oxford University Press) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180201065457.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824085528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65EEF42082A711DE820800E8A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
