From the book back:
Mary Westmacott is known to millions as Agatha Christie - - "She is a natural storyteller." - The New York Times

UNFINISHED PORTRAIT
She sat alone at the edge of her life. Below her, the sea crashed against the cliffs, a siren song calling Celia toward the cradling relief of death, the one promise that could never be broken. A step, a flight into the waiting waves, then endless peace - or eternal damnation.

Chance-a passing stranger-drew Celiaback from the edge and into a dark and blinding obyssey of memory. In the timeless night, demons and secrets escaped, betrayals and broken vows healed. And in the first light of morning, Celia slept, weary hostage to the unfathomable future.

"Well done...worth reading!" - - The New York Times

An interesting story of Celia, a beautiful woman haunted by fears, written by the "Queen of crime." Recommended!
