The Murder of Delicia

Delicia Voan — a famous writer, talented, beautiful, and adored by readers. She sincerely loves her husband, Lord Carleon, considering him the perfect man. But behind the ancient beauty and impeccable manners lies a selfish idler, accustomed to living off his wife's money and seeking entertainment elsewhere. When Delicia learns of her husband's affair with the dancer La Marina, her serene world collapses. Not wanting to create a public scandal, she maintains her dignity and immerses herself in work; however, the betrayal slowly destroys her from within. Who killed Delicia — a sudden illness, her husband's heartlessness, or a society that demands silent endurance from women? This is a novel about love, marriage, and the invisible violence that can destroy a person long before their physical death. The novel is published for the first time in Russian.
