Sealed Letter: a novel

Miss Emily 'Fido' Faithfull is a woman ahead of her times, running her own printing press in Victorian London.

She is distracted from her work by the sudden return of her once-dear friend, the unhappily wed Helen Codrington.

Before she knows it, Fido is swept up in the intimate details of Helen's failing marriage and obsessive affair with a young army officer. What begins as a loyal effort to help a friend explodes into a courtroom drama muckier than any Hollywood tabloid could invent - complete with stained clothing, accusations of adultery, counterclaims of rape, and a mysterious letter that could destroy more than one life. Based on a scandalous divorce case that gripped England in 1864, The Sealed Letter is a compelling and provocative drama of friends, lovers, and divorce, Victorian style.
