I'd gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom, cries impetuous Rosamond Vivian to her callous grandfather. Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession. A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered too sensational to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women. Buried among Louisa May Alcott's papers for more than a century, its publication is a literary landmark--a novel that is bold, timeless, and mesmerizing. From the Paperback edition.

This is the sort of novel Professor Bhaer warned Jo March NOT to write. That said, I found it a delightfully melodramatic romance in the traditional sense of the word, filled with real suspense. A true page-turner.

What an intriguing title!
This if one of the greatest suspense/love stories ever. Amazing and the language of the time - the way the author wrote, her style so romantic and engaging. Could hardly put the book down. I've listened to the the audio cassette of this book a dozen times. It is a fantastic story. It has a heartbreaking end as foretold by the title - but what drama, suspense, and emotions. Ignatius - if only I could meet you in real life! Even the villain of the story could have been played by Clark Gable! And Rosamund, fair Rose - could a woman like this really exist - beautiful in spirit, soul, and body. I look forward to reading more of Lousia May Alcott's books. This one was far ahead of her time.
