Book Description:
A husband, a family, a comfortable life: Theodora Lestrange lives in terror of it all.With a modest inheritance and the three gowns that comprise her entire wardrobe, Theodora leaves Edinburgh—and a disappointed suitor—far behind. She is bound for Rumania, where tales of vampires are still whispered, to visit an old friend and write the book that will bring her true independence. She arrives at a magnificent, decaying castle in the Carpathians, replete with eccentric inhabitants: the ailing dowager; the troubled steward; her own fearful friend, Cosmina. But all are outstripped in dark glamour by the castle's master, Count Andrei Dragulescu.Bewildering and bewitching in equal measure, the brooding nobleman ignites Theodora's imagination and awakens passions in her that she can neither deny nor conceal. His allure is superlative, his dominion over the superstitious town, absolute—Theodora may simply be one more person under his sway.Before her sojourn is ended—or her novel completed—Theodora will have encountered things as strange and terrible as they are seductive. For obsession can prove fatal…and she is in danger of falling prey to more than desire.

Roumanian Journey
Author: Sacheverell Sitwell
ISBN-10: 0192828843
ISBN-13: 9780192828842
Published: 1992-03-12
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
|
Book Description:
With his expert knowledge of the history and culture of Europe, and his keen eye for the bizarre, Sacheveral Sitwell was the ideal guide to the people and places of 1930s Romania. Sweeping from the rich and varied scenery of the Carpathians and the plains of Transylvania and Wallachia to the Danube Delta, he introduces characters as diverse as Laetzi gypsies, circus dwarves and King Carol I. This tour of a young nation seemingly untouched at the time by the 20th century is even more poignant in the light of Romania's subsequent tragedies.
