MRS. POE

Book ID/图书代码： 04332812B58063

English Summary/英文概要： A vivid and compelling novel about a woman who becomes entangled in an affair with Edgar Allan Poe—at the same time she becomes the unwilling confidante of his much-younger wife.

It is 1845, and Frances Osgood is desperately trying to make a living as a writer in New York; not an easy task for a woman—especially one with two children and a philandering portrait painter as her husband. As Frances tries to sell her work, she finds that editors are only interested in writing similar to that of the new renegade literary sensation Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem, “The Raven” has struck a public nerve.

She meets the handsome and mysterious Poe at a literary party, and the two have an immediate connection. Poe wants Frances to meet with his wife since she claims to be an admirer of her poems, and Frances is curious to see the woman whom Edgar married.

As Frances spends more and more time with the intriguing couple, her intense attraction for Edgar brings her into dangerous territory. And Mrs. Poe, who acts like an innocent child, is actually more manipulative and threatening than she appears. As Frances and Edgar’s passionate affair escalates, Frances must decide whether she can walk away before it’s too late...

Set amidst the fascinating world of New York’s literati, this smart and sexy novel offers a unique view into the life of one of history’s most unforgettable literary figures.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本生动的和令人信服的小说，讲述了一个与爱•伦坡卷入了婚外情的女人的故事——同时她不情愿的成为了他年轻妻子的知心朋友。

1845年，弗朗西丝•奥斯古德拼命努力在纽约写作谋生，这对一个女人来说不是一件容易的事——尤其是她还有两个孩子和一个只会与女人打情骂俏的肖像画家丈夫。当弗朗西丝试图出售她的作品时，发现编辑只对类似于爱•伦坡风格的变节小说感兴趣，那时埃德加•爱伦•坡的《乌鸦》已经拨动了公众的神经。

她在晚会上遇见了英俊和神秘的坡，这两个人立即有了联系。当弗朗西斯声称自己是他妻子的诗的崇拜者，坡希望她去见见他的妻子，弗朗西丝对和他结婚的那个女人感到很好奇。

当弗朗西丝与这对迷人的夫妇度过越来越多的时间，她给埃德加带来的强烈吸引力让她陷入险境。爱伦•坡夫人就像一个无辜的孩子，但实际上她比表现出来的更有操控力和危险性。由于弗朗西丝和埃德加充满激情的恋情不断升级，当弗朗西丝必须决定她是否应该离去时，为时已晚...

故事的背景是纽约文人的迷人世界，这本聪明和迷人的小说为进入历史上最令人难忘的文学人物之一的生活，提供了一个独特的视角。（LNL）

Awards/获奖情况：评论：

“《爱•伦坡夫人》是一本引人注目的关于命运多舛的爱情，激情和战前纽约的写作生活的小说，有丰富的细节和悬念。”——珍妮弗•其亚弗里，《林肯夫人的裁缝》的作者

危险，性感，神秘和激情填补这个迷人的小说集的页面，有着拥挤的鹅卵石铺就的街道，小巷，便宜的寄宿公寓和十九世纪中叶纽约市的文学聚会。每个人都警告可爱，身无分文，被遗弃的带着两个孩子的诗人奥斯古德夫人远离黑眼睛的作家爱伦坡，但是爱伦坡已经爱上了她。她写温柔的诗句；他创造了令人毛骨悚然的故事，但他依然神秘，携带秘密，他不敢把自己令人发指的过去透露给他虚弱的年轻得多的妻子。即使当她了解到，有人因为他而试图杀死她，他们也不能把对对方的激情放下，直到为时已晚。这是一本引人注目的小说，使历史鲜活。——斯蒂芬妮•科威尔，《克劳德和卡》的作者

林恩•卡伦似乎已经把自己送到了老纽约——爱伦坡夫人被认为是正统的。毫无疑问，这是我在很长一段时间内读过的历史上最好的科幻小说。令人回味的，富有同情心，聪明，性感，让人完全上瘾。弗朗西丝•奥斯古德和爱伦坡之间激情让你的心燃烧，同时她和坡夫人的关系使你的心脏疼痛。这是一本真正的书，需要细细品味。——M•J•玫瑰，国际畅销书作家
