Showing results for "Vera" in Psychological

Lucy Entwhistle and Everard Wemyss, both recovering from recent unhappiness, meet and quickly fall in love. However, over their new-found bliss looms the spectre of Vera, Wemyss’s first wife who died in mysterious circumstances. After their wedding the couple return home and Lucy really does begin to be troubled by what happened to Vera. Considered a high-water mark by the author, the story is an extraordinarily black vision of a young wife who gradually begins to understand that her husband will accept nothing less than total intellectual and emotional servitude.

Convicted of murder 16 years ago, William Benson is ostracised by the establishment and his family. Supported by a close-knit group including solicitor Tess de Vere, he's defied them all and opened his own Chambers. Now he faces the case of his life - and the terminal illness of Helen Camberley, who helped him leave his prison life behind. Jorge Menderez, a doctor from Spain, has been found dead in a deserted warehouse in East London. A troubled man, he'd turned to counsellor Karen Lynwood seeking help. 

Una mattina estiva del 1920 la giovane Lucy perde il padre improvvisamente ritrovandosi sola e disperata, senza speranze. È uno sconosciuto a risvegliarla dal torpore che il lutto le ha causato: il legame con Everard Wemyss, quarantenne rimasto vedovo da poco, è immediato, e la condivisa sofferenza per la recente perdita dà origine a una confortante intimità. Ma il matrimonio con Wemyss sarà diverso da come Lucy aveva sognato: le mura di casa diverranno quelle di una tetra prigione dove i giorni sono scanditi da rituali irrazionali.

Tiene frente a su cámara fotográfica a la interna del manicomio Modesta Burgos, una mujer que le parece familiar. Sobre el banquillo de los locos, ella posa con sorpresiva altivez. Joaquín Buitrago no demora mucho en recordarla, es una de las mujeres del burdel La Modernidad a la que había retratado años antes. Ahora, desposeída de todo, aún conserva el imán que lo atrae.Obsesionado por su historia, busca hacerse de su expediente médico, «debe haber algo más en el silencio de su vida», se dice el fotógrafo.
