Her malicious intrigues fuel the plot of this gripping melodrama: a tale of confused identities, inherited curses, romantic rivalries, espionage, money-and murder. The character of Lydia Gwilt horrified contemporary critics, with one reviewer describing her as \"One of the most hardened female villains whose devices and desires have ever blackened fiction.\" She remains among the most enigmatic and fascinating women in nineteenth-century literature and the dark heart of this most sensational of Victorian \"sensation novels.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
