AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set near Vendome on the Loire. A beautiful countess is cunningly punished by her husband who has her swear on her crucifix that no-one is in her closet and then has it walled up while she and he remain in the room. Narrated years later by a traveller. Engrossing; tension well-sustained. (PB)
