The stolen book of Evelyn Aubrey : a novel

Burdick, Serena (Author).

In an exciting new historical novel from the bestselling author of GIRLS WITH NO NAMES, a writer's wife in Edwardian England goes missing, creating a literary scandal, and her great-great granddaughter must discover what truly happened to break their family curse. What if you could write a new ending for yourself? England, 1898: When Evelyn first married the famous novelist William Aubrey, she was thrilled to be with someone her intellectual equal. But when William is gripped with writer's block, he becomes jealous of Evelyn's innate writing talent and commits the ultimate betrayal - he steals a draft of her novel and passes it off as his own. Trapped by William's emotional abuse, Evelyn decides to write her way out of their unhappy marriage. California, 2006: Abigail had tried to accept that she would never know her father after her mother's tragic car accident. But that changes when she stumbles upon an old photo of him and her mom, along with a collection of poems by Evelyn Aubrey in her grandmother's things. His name is still unknown, but the dedication in the book makes it clear that Evelyn Aubrey was her great-great grandmother.
