Welcome, dear listener, to The Mary Elizabeth Braddon Library. A chamber of secrets, a gallery of restless hearts, and a lantern-lit corridor of whispered confessions.

Here, behind the drawn curtain and within the quiet walls of respectable houses, you shall find what polite society would rather leave undiscovered: hidden marriages, perilous affections, fortunes won and lost, and heroines whose beauty is rivalled only by their resolve. In these pages, love is seldom safe, innocence is not always pure, and the past is never so thoroughly buried as one might wish.Public domain
