Item Description
Set in the early 19th century, "The Strange Woman" takes place in Bangor, Maine, where logging and lumber mills have made the town prosperous. Jenny Hager has grown up in Bangor, not far from the watchful eye of wealthy Isaiah Poster. The fact that Jenny is twenty years Isaiah's junior does not stem his amorous intentions, and when she's finally out of her teens, Jenny accepts his proposal of marriage. But beneath her sweet exterior, Jenny is a shrewd, conniving women, and while she makes a fine life for herself with Isaiah's money, she obviously doesn't care for him. When Isaiah's son Ephraim visits from college, Jenny is immediately attracted to him. And Jenny's scheming doesn't stop there. Nothing and no one seems to be able to stop her - not even the thought of murder.
Used - Very good.
