A newly reissued edition of Agatha Christie's 'Mary Westmacott' novel, a Crime of the Heart novel about love and anguish across the class divide. Everyone expected Isabella Charteris, beautiful, sheltered and aristocratic, to marry her cousin Rupert when he came back from the War. It would have been such a suitable marriage. How strange then that John Gabriel, an ambitious and ruthless war hero, should appear in her life. For Isabella, the price of love would mean abandoning her dreams of home and happiness forever. For Gabriel, it would destroy his chance of a career and all his ambitions!

但真实生活中的克里斯蒂，也曾经历种种生命风暴。她因承受不了第一任丈夫外遇及母亲过世的接连打击，而于1926年发生失忆及失踪事件；1930年再婚，嫁给比她年轻十四岁的考古学家；经历两次世界大战……因此除了推理小说外，她也以玛丽·韦斯特马科特（Mary Westmacott）为笔名发表了“心之罪”（crimes of the heart）系列六本探讨“爱”的小说。这六部作品，部部都有她个人生命的投射，是了解这位神秘女作家最重要的线索。

和阿加莎的私密对话。她在这本书里触及到了我几乎所有的疑惑，并且给出了合理的答案。The moment of the Rose and the moment of the Yew tree are of equal duration.
