She Opened the Door
T338693019
She Opened the Door is a fresh look at Thomas Hardy's first wife Emma and her relationship with the literary genius; one of Dorset's favourite sons. It takes place early autumn, in the garden of their home at Max Gate, Dorchester. Hardy's possessive mother Jemima comes to visit for a first and only time and Mrs Florence Henniker who has written a novel with Hardy arrives on the new-fangled bicycle. Add a feisty (ruined) house maid, some skeletons and a ghost or two to Emma's already tangled nerves and you have a powder keg ready to blow!
