Review:
Rosamond Vivian, brought up on a remote island by an indifferent grandfather, swears she'd sell her soul to Satan for a year of freedom. When Philip Tempest enters her life, she is ripe for the plucking, but is soon caught up in a web of intrigue, cruelty and deceit stretching back far into the past. Remarkable for its portrayal of a sensual, spirited Victorian heroine, Louisa May Alcott's work, too shocking to be published during her lifetime, tells a compulsive tale of love, desire and deceit. Its publication more than a century after being written marks a new page in literary history.
From the Publisher:
The New York Times Bestseller
He stalked her every step--for she had become his obsession...
High praise for Louisa May Alcott's A Long Fatal Love Chase:
"A deliciously readable page-turner."
--The New Yorker
"A suspenseful and thoroughly charming story...and it tends to confirm Alcott's position as the country's most articulate 19th-century feminist."
--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review
"Sensational in every sense of the word: filled with exotic locations, lusty appetites and page-turning treachery."
--The Seattle Times
"A tale of obsessive love, stalking and murder that seems ripped right off today's tabloids."
--USA Today
"Intriguing...Alcott's tale of obsession and sexual politics deepens our appreciation for her championing of women's rights and for her extraordinary storytelling skills."
--Booklist
"At its core, Love Chase showcases an alluring, inspiring, made-for-movies heroine."
--Entertainment Weekly
"There's something utterly refreshing about getting a glimpse of Alcott letting her hair down...Love Chase gives us a glimpse of the wild, free creature Alcott the writer must have longed to be...the book is lively, so exuberant, and so naughty, reading it is like biting into a juicy peach."
--The Boston Phoenix
