"I'd gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom," cries
impetuous Rosamond Vivian to her callous grandfather. Then, one stormy
night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to
take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest,
Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited
away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped
in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she
flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental
asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the
fiery beauty who has become his obsession.
A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered "too sensational" to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women.
Buried among Louisa May Alcott's papers for more than a century, its
publication is a literary landmark—a novel that is bold, timeless, and
mesmerizing."
