Vera

More about the book

Lucy Entwhistle is swept into marriage by rich charismatic widower, Everard Wemyss. Together they live in The Willows, an old sprawling mansion which they share with the specter of his dead wife… John Middleton Murray famously described Vera as “Wuthering Heights by Jane Austen.” True, the novel does feature an intense, tempestuous romance at its center but fans of Elizabeth Von Arnim’s famous work Enchanted April will recognize the same mordant wit on display in this tale of mismatched lovers – a wit that is perhaps more biting and bittersweet than Austen’s.
