关于此电子书

Life at Charnley is blessed for the Jardine children, Harriet, Vita and Daisy, who live in an idyllic Edwardian country manor with their loving parents, Beatrice and Amory. But one night, after a party celebrating their mother's birthday, their dreams of a propitious future suddenly come crashing down when a family scandal catapults them into the headlines. Nearly four decades pass by and still the exact events of that fateful night remain a mystery. But when an old diary detailing their mother's voyage to Egypt is unearthed it finally seems as though some of the answers are within reach - until the shocking discovery of a mummified corpse in the ruins of their old home.Beautifully written, evoking the life of the Edwardian upper classes, bomb-scarred post-war England and the sultry Egyptian landscape, The Shape of Sand is a compelling novel you will wish was as long as the Nile.

作者简介

MARJORIE ECCLES was born in Yorkshire and has since spent some time on the Northumbrian coast; both locations have influenced her writing. Her well-known Gill Mayo series was set in the Black Country and her two latest books, Killing A Unicorn and Echoes of Silence, were set in her native Yorkshire. Altogether Marjorie has written mainly crime novels, but also some romantic fiction. Outside of writing, Marjorie's enjoyment comes from reading, listening to music and gardening.
