Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel begins with a description of Audley Court, an old and picturesque house in the county of Essex in England. It is the home of Sir Michael Audley, his daughter Alicia, and his second wife. Sir Michael is a baronet, who has married for a second time at age 55, seventeen years after the death of his first wife. The woman he married is named Lucy Graham. Prior to her marriage, the wife of the village surgeon, Mrs. Dawson, had employed her: she had acted as a governess to Mrs. Dawson's daughters. Lucy is very beautiful and charms everyone she meets; after seeing her at church, Sir Michael fell very strongly in love. When Sir Michael proposed, Lucy gave a strange speech about how she could not be expected to resist the offer he was making, and then accepted his proposal. A number of small details suggest that Lucy may have been hiding a secret, possibly related to a child or a previous marriage. Meanwhile, George Talboys is onboard a ship sailing from Sydney, Australia to Liverpool, England. George is returning to his wife after three and a half years. George had been a soldier stationed at a seaport town when he met his future wife. Her father was poor and had a drinking problem, and hoped to marry his daughter to a wealthy military man. George fell in love and married her, but although he came from a wealthy family, he was disowned when his father learned that he had married a girl without a fortune. George tried unsuccessfully to find work, with the situation growing more desperate now that his wife had given birth to a son. He and his wife argued about money and he left the house so upset that he considered committing suicide. Instead, he overheard a conversation about the Australian goldfields and decided to secretly travel to Australia, make money, and then return. He left a short note for his wife, explaining his plan, and departed. After much suffering in Australia, he discovered a large gold deposit that earned him a large sum of money. He is now returning to his wife; during his absence, he only sent her one letter, in which he told her he was returning and provided her with the address she could use to contact him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Elizabeth Braddon (4 October 1835 - 4 February 1915) was an English popular novelist of the Victorian era. She is best known for her 1862 sensation novel Lady Audley's Secret. Life and works: Born in London, Mary Elizabeth Braddon was privately educated. Her mother Fanny separated from her father Henry in 1840, when Mary was five. When Mary was ten years old, her brother Edward Braddon left for India and later Australia, where he became Premier of Tasmania. Mary worked as an actress for three years when she was befriended by Clara and Adelaide Biddle. They were only playing minor roles but Braddon was able to support herself and her mother. Adelaide noted that Braddon's interest in acting waned as she took an interest in writing novels. In 1860, Mary met John Maxwell (1824-1895), a publisher of periodicals. She started living with him in 1861. However, Maxwell was already married with five children, and his wife was living in an asylum in Ireland. Mary acted as stepmother to his children until 1874, when Maxwell's wife died and they were able to get married. She had six children by him, including the novelist William Babington Maxwell. Braddon was a prolific writer, producing more than 80 novels with inventive plots. The most famous is Lady Audley's Secret (1862), which won her recognition, and a fortune as a bestseller.It has remained in print since its publication and been dramatised and filmed several times. R. D. Blackmore's anonymous sensation novel Clara Vaughan (1864) was wrongly attributed to her by some critics. Braddon wrote several works of supernatural fiction, including the pact with the devil story Gerald, or the World, the Flesh and the Devil (1891), and the ghost stories "The Cold Embrace," "Eveline's Visitant" and "At Chrighton Abbey." From the 1930s onwards, these stories were often anthologised in collections such as Montague Summers's The Supernatural Omnibus (1931) and Fifty Years of Ghost Stories (1935). Braddon's legacy is tied to the sensation fiction of the 1860s. Braddon also founded Belgravia magazine (1866), which presented readers with serialised sensation novels, poems, travel narratives and biographies, as well as essays on fashion, history and science. The magazine was accompanied by lavish illustrations and offered readers a source of literature at an affordable cost. She also edited Temple Bar magazine. She died on 4 February 1915 in Richmond (at the time a borough in Surrey, but now part of Greater London), and is interred in Richmond Cemetery. Her home had been Lichfield House in the centre of the town, which was replaced by a block of flats in 1936, Lichfield Court, now listed. She has a plaque in Richmond parish church which calls her simply 'Miss Braddon'. A number of streets in the area are named after characters in her novels - her husband was a property developer in the area. There is a critical essay on Braddon's work in Michael Sadleir's book Things Past (1944). In 2014 the Mary Elizabeth Braddon Association was founded to pay tribute to Braddon's life and work.
