A Wife's Tragedy: A Novel

431 pp. 7 1/4 x 5. May Agnes Fleming wrote 42 novels in 17 years and was Canada's first bestselling novelist. 'The books were all unrestrained, highly sensational melodramas, filled with plot twists, mystery, disguise, startling events, murder, evil women, suspense and true love. The villainous woman – dark, passionate, and exotically foreign – was one of Fleming’s stock characters.'
