Book Synopsis: CONFLICT OF WILLS
The intense and deeply human drama sweeps the reader along to an unforgettable storybook land -- where a spoiled beauty, bored with her customary pleasures, seeks to manipulate the life of her unworldly niece.
Soon she becomes obsessed with her new passion -- and with the twisted thought that only by corrupting the innocent can she purge herself of a lifelong accumulation of evil. From her strange compulsion grows an even stronger hatred, and she finds the wrath of her victim the equal of her own.
With her unparalleled artistry, Rumer Godden has created in GYPSY, GYPSY a vivid novel as throbbing with life as the magnificent countryside it portrays.
