Aurora Floyd Volume 2, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 - 1915)

As a teenager she is sent away to finishing school in Paris. This is volume two of the story which tells of Aurora's life with her husband John Mellish. This is a story of love, murder and the search for justice. (Summary by Michele Eaton )
