Book description
One night at the theatre, Vitor da Silva, a young law graduate,
sees a strikingly beautiful woman. Her name is Genoveva. Originally
from Madeira, she has lived for many years in Paris. Her rich French
husband has died and she is in Lisbon with a view possibly to settling
there. Genoveva, however, is not what she seems. Behind the mutual
attraction between her and Vitor lies a terrible secret.
