The Hothouse by the East River

More about the book

Countess Elsa Hazlett is as unpredictable as her shadow, which falls wherever it pleases, and she makes her presence known wherever she can—she revels in public scandal. She lives in a state of war with her husband, Paul. However, when Elsa throws tomatoes at her son's theater premiere and offers sharp-tongued malice like confectionery, there is a reason behind her actions: Paul denies her very existence.
