The Last Days of Leda Grey: A reclusive actress, a volatile love affair, a long-hidden secret...
Formats & Editions
It was a secret kept for fifty years...
The bewitching novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of CATHERINE: A RETELLING OF WUTHERING HEIGHTS - for fans of Sarah Waters and Tracy Chevalier.
When journalist Ed Peters unearths a dusty old photograph of the alluring and reclusive silent-film actress Leda Grey, he is instantly enchanted.
Captivated by the image, he searches for Leda - and finds her still living, alone in a decaying cliff-top house by the sea. There, after a fifty-year silence, she's finally ready to share her incredible story.
She tells of a dark love affair, of obsession and jealousy, and the glamorous world of early cinema.
She tells of a world filled with secrets and lies, and of a past far more haunting than any of the silent films that Leda Grey once starred in.
