Twenty years ago Helen Franklin did something she cannot forgive herself for, and she has spent every day since barricading herself against its memory. But her sheltered life is about to change. A strange manuscript has come into her possession. It is filled with testimonies from the darkest chapters of human history, which all record sightings of a tall, silent woman in black, with unblinking eyes and bleeding feet: Melmoth, the loneliest being in the world.

London 1893. Da Cora Seabornes kontrollerende mand dør, rejser hun med lige dele sorg og lettelse fra hovedstaden til kystbyen Aldwinter i Essex sammen med sin søn Francis. I den lille by går der rygter om, at en mytisk søslange, der efter sigende skulle have taget menneskeliv for 300 år siden, er set igen ud for kysten og er skyld i en ung mands død. Cora er meget interesseret i naturvidenskab og er sikker på, at hun kan finde en naturlig forklaring.

Helen Franklins Leben nimmt eine jähe Wende, als sie in Prag auf ein seltsames Manuskript stößt. Es handelt von Melmoth - einer mysteriösen Frau in Schwarz, der Legende nach dazu verdammt, auf ewig über die Erde zu wandeln. Helen findet immer neue Hinweise auf Melmoth in geheimnisvollen Briefen und Tagebüchern - und sie fühlt sich gleichzeitig verfolgt. Liegt die Antwort, ob es Melmoth wirklich gibt, in Helens eigener Vergangenheit.

In this exhilarating feminist defence of the Essex girl, Sarah Perry re-examines her relationship with her much maligned home county. She summons its most unquiet spirits, from Protestant martyr Rose Allin to the indomitable Abolitionist Anne Knight, sitting them alongside Audre Lorde, Kim Kardashian and Harriet Martineau, and showing us that the Essex girl is not bound by geography. She is a type, representing a very particular kind of female agency, and a very particular kind of disdain: she contains a multitude of women, and it is time to celebrate them.

Thomas Hart e Grace Macaulay sono spiriti affini, divisi tra l'impegno religioso e il desiderio di esplorare il mondo al di là della loro piccola comunità battista. Quando un evento incrina la loro amicizia, allontanandoli, Thomas inizia a sviluppare un'ossessione per un’astronoma scomparsa nel XIX secolo e Grace fugge da Aldleigh per raggiungere Londra e un’esistenza che immagina più indipendente, più libera.

Londra, fine Ottocento. Alla morte del ricco e spietato marito, Cora Seaborne, decide di rifugiarsi nell’Essex per indagare su alcune bizzarre voci secondo le quali un serpente mostruoso, ricoperto di scaglie ruvide e con occhi grandi come una pecora, sarebbe emerso dalle paludi salmastre del Blackwater. La donna sospetta di trovarsi davanti a un caso di probabile interesse per il British Museum. Anche William Ransome, il vicario locale, è impaziente di indagare, convinto al contrario, che si tratti di un’empia superstizione da smontare al più presto.
