Distinctive appeal: Betrayal in a loveless marriage

"The Brimstone Wedding" is a hauntingly beautiful novel that explores the power and poison of love, highlighting the consequences of betrayal in a loveless marriage. It tells the story of Genevieve, who finds herself in a passionate love affair after 13 years of a loveless marriage. Stella, a dying woman who Genevieve cares for, shares with her the story of her own erotic entanglement, which only serves to heighten the suspense. This book will grip you until the very last page, leaving you with bittersweet feelings that only a well-crafted thriller can convey.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
