Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. **Bundle Up & Save On Postage** Pages have lightly tanned, otherwise a very nice copy, clean and well bound 5 X 7.75" 125 pages. Annabel Christopher is an actress. She lives in publicity-mad Rome and her public image is everything to her: a screen on to which are projected her refined English smiles, her tiger eyes, and colour-bright shots of herself and her husband in love. In fact, her husband Frederick cannot bear her and her vapid uneventful internal life. His sense of drama being far greater than hers, he stages a scandal - his own suicide - in an attempt to destroy her public image. But Annabel prevails -. Seller Inventory # 580266
