Product Description

Product Description

My wife, in her impulsive way, forgot the formalities proper to the occasion, and kissed her at parting. At that one little act of sisterly sympathy, the fortitude which the poor creature had preserved all through the evening gave way in an instant. She burst into tears. I felt as fond of her and as sorry for her as my wife. But (unfortunately) I could not take my wife's privilege of kissing her. On our way downstairs, I found the opportunity of saying a cheering word to her husband as he accompanied us to the door. "Before I open this," I remarked, pointing to the portfolio under my arm, "my mind is made up, sir, about one thing. If I wasn't married already, I tell you this -- I should envy you your wife." He pointed to the portfolio in his turn. "Read what I have written there," he said; "and you will understand what those false friends of mine have made me suffer tonight." The next morning my wife and I opened the portfolio, and read the strange story of George Germaine's marriage. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

This Collins' novel deals more than usually with the supernatural and stretches coincidence beyond all normal limits. The characters are less well drawn than usual. When all is said and done, though, Collins is never less than readable.

Whoops! Product description does not mention it is incomplete 6 Nov 2011
By D. Donohue - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this novel and ordered it for my mom. The price was high enough [exorbitant] for a paperbound book that I thought that the novel would be complete. The product description says NOTHING about it being one volume of a complex work. It is one volume, not the complete work, I was embarrassed to discover from my mom. Where is the rest of the work? NOT AVAILABLE? Available for an additional [exorbitant] sum? If it had been an order for myself, I would return, but my mom is 3,000 miles away and I do not want to add insult to injury by asking her to pack and return ship, so injustice has been rewarded.
Her or his story? 17 July 2011
By Jorge Frid - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
When you start the book you'll expect to read Mary's story. You'll know her story but you'll just read here and there from her. You'll know HIS complete and utterly story but none everything of her's. The love story is thrilling in some parts and boring at some points. You would read the same story with a different spell about many times. If you have this in mind you could like the story more than I do.
Looks like it was Printed on a cheap broken down Printer 3 Aug 2007
By Deborah Klein - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ok.. I Love the story.. it is a beautiful romance .. I read it on-line and I wanted my own copy for that cold rainy night get-away. when It arrived I couldn't wait to open it. just to touch the words.. and then Put it in my bookshelf for a perfect night.... WHAT A SHOCK when I opened it to see the POOR PRINTING JOB ... on some of the pages even the lines are askew. black blotches around the words in some cases. and choppy letters not even fully formed on others... WHAT A VAST DISSAPOINTMENT. SHAME ON AMAZON!
