It's an old Anne River Siddons, and a little lengthy, but if you stick with it, it's a good light read.

Back Cover:
She was special.
That's what Ruth Yanceys worn out mother told her every day of her life. And Ruth was beautiful, with a fiery splendor that rose above her squalid Georgia mill town roots.
It was those looks, and her imbred belief in a powerful destiny, that led Ruth to the most exquisite mansion in Sparta, Fox's Earth.
Through insinuation, manipulation and an impenetrable evil, she became its mistress for three generations..with masterful precision, she broke her descendants hearts and bled their souls..until another woman, not of her blood, not of her station, attempted to match her madness...

A compelling character drama about a horrifyingly amoral young beauty from the wrong side of the tracks who seizes control of a great southern estate, only to find her position suddenly threaten by another women, possibly even more corrupt then she is.

A passionate southern murder saga

A lusty Southern saga, this Gothic extravaganza of greed, madness, and murder, is a wicked brew, passionate and perverse. Unlike most of this genre, it's also psychologically astute and excellently written.
