  • "Ce journal intime raconte les errements entre désir et raison de Charlotte Mortimer. En Angleterre, à la fin du XIXe siècle, Charlotte, vingt ans, s'éprend puis épouse Peter, un ingénieur électricien qui se passionne pour cette technique en pleine expansion. Alors que Peter est embauché par un riche excentrique du nom de Godwin, Charlotte se laisse séduire et s'adonne au spiritisme."
  • "Charlotte Mortimer, a spirited young woman, is testing the limits of her strict world of convention. She arrives at the house of Peter Fisher, on the brink of womanhood and full of optimism. Peter's infectious excitement about the possibilities of electricity matches Charlotte's longing for a brighter future. Marriage to Peter offers a new world, but perhaps she's going too far, too fast; and perhaps there will be a price to pay which she had reckoned without..."
  • "The turn of the 20th century finds newly married Charlotte Mortimer looking for escape from her parent's humdrum lives. When she accompanies her engineer husband on a commission to wire the estate of a country gentleman, Charlotte discovers a new type of "personal" electricity."
