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.

"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!
