The Grey Woman
How far would you go to get what you want? Emma Carter works two jobs during the day and her husband Ronnie works nights. They just about make ends meet and she’s had enough. She wants more. Money is a powerful aphrodisiac and the ruin of men. It sucks you in and promises the world and people will do anything to grasp it for themselves. She is no exception. She overhears a conversation that could change everything, but is she brave enough to see it through? It’s time to venture out of the shadows and take what she wants and use what she knows to get it. But Ronnie has other ideas and stands in her way and Emma will need to fight for what she wants or risk losing everything. However, her husband has a secret that could destroy them both. Will she wish she never left the shadows at all?
An Indiscretion in the Life of an Heiress and Other Stories
'An Indiscretion in the Life of a Heiress', is one of ten stories - three collaborative, all uncollected - that are brought together in this volume. 'Indiscretion', derived from Hardy's unpublished first novel The Poor Man and the Lady, represents one of his earliest confrontations with theclass and gender issues which were to remain central to his fiction throughout his life. Several of the other stories, notably 'Destiny and a Blue Cloak', 'The Spectre of the Real', and 'The Unconquerable', raise similar questions, while at the same time illustrating, in typical Hardyan fashion,life's little (or somewhat larger) ironies. Some of the other stories are less characteristic: 'Old Mrs Chuncle', for example, approximates moral fable more closely than is usual for Hardy, while 'Our Exploits at West Poley' is anomalous not only in being (like 'The Thieves Who Couldn't Help Sneezing') a story written for children but alsoin experimenting with unreliable narration. Such stories are signifcant precisley because they incoporate varieties of technique, subject matter, and genre that are otherwise found in the Hardy canon either rarely or not at all.
