Girl in the Mirror

A young playwright, Laurie Devon, has staged a brilliant play on the main stage of New York and now believes he doesn't need to write anymore. All his colleagues and friends say otherwise. But he doesn't listen to them. Life... is very clear to him: you just have to live for your own pleasure and relax! So he thinks, until the window of the neighboring house is reflected in the mirror, and in the window — a strange stranger... A sad beauty with a loaded revolver. A vintage thriller about a chase along the winding roads of America in the 1910s takes a sharp turn, pulling the reader into a captivating story. The novel 'Girl in the Mirror' was penned by Elizabeth Garver Jordan, head of the editorial board of Harper’s Bazaar, more than a century ago, but in its psychological tricks and unexpected plot twists, it does not yield to current bestsellers in the genre. And most importantly, in its message, it anticipates 'The Theatre' by Somerset Maugham, saying: 'The play is pretense. And pretense is the only reality...' It is published in Russian for the first time.
