Book excerpt: In 19th-century New Jersey, a cold, cruel beast of a man plots an arranged marriage for his son, but the boy's relationship with a mysterious foreign girl threatens everything.THE FASCINATING BEGINNING: a poisoning attempt by young Isabel, a hinted past of misery, guilt and torture. Then...things become progressively worse; blades are driven into flesh just as a flash of gold crosses the page, and all of this occurs in what at first seemed to be so civilized a backdrop but is supernatural in its own right.But evil-or at least criminal acts-cannot, in a dialectical fashion, exist without love and compassion. And the ROMANCE that flourishes between Joseph and Isabel is a perfect example of this. The kiss with which the novel begins to draw to its GREAT END, the strange affection that is communicated-all of this gives us a CERTAIN HOPE, even within such strange proceedings. Sometimes what is invisible to us is, after all, what we need most.
