"England im 19. Jahrhundert: Susan Trinder wächst im Waisenhaus der zwielichtigen Mrs. Sucksby auf. Gemeinsam mit dem aalglatten Richard Rivers, genannt 'Gentleman', plant sie einen grossen Coup: Als Zofe will sie sich in das Vertrauen der jungen Erbin Maud Lilly einschleichen, um alsbald die Weichen für deren Heirat mit Gentleman zu stellen. Kurz nach der Eheschliessung soll Maud dann ins Irrenhaus abgeschoben werden, um an ihr Vermögen zu kommen. Zunächst verläuft alles nach Plan. Selbst die zärtlich-leidenschaftlichen Gefühle, die Susan schon bald für Maud entwickelt, können sie nicht beirren. Doch plötzlich nehmen die Ereignisse eine atemberaubende Wendung. Zu spät erkennt Susan, dass sie in ein gefährliches Intrigenspiel geraten ist, in dem es nun um Liebe und Tod geht ... Sarah Waters wurde 1966 in Wales geboren und lebt heute in London. Sie ist promovierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin und hat seit 1998 fünf umfangreiche Romane veröffentlicht, von denen drei - darunter 'Die Muschelöffnerin' und 'Solange du lügst' - mit grossem Erfolg verfilmt wurden. Sarah Waters gilt mittlerweile als eine der renommiertesten britischen GegenwartsautorInnen und wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet."
