About this eBook
The Cursed Wife by Pamela Hartshorne is a page-turning, psychological thriller set in Elizabethan London.
Curses cannot be silenced . . .
Mary lives a contented life as wife to a wealthy merchant in Elizabethan London. But there's a part of her past she can’t forget . . . As a small girl she was cursed for causing the death of a vagrant child, a curse that predicts that she will hang.
Sometimes the happiest households are not what they seem, and Mary's carefully curated world begins to falter. Mary’s whole life is based on a lie. Is she the woman her husband believes her to be?
One rainy day she ventures to London's Cheapside, where her past catches up with her . . . Suddenly the lies and deception she has so fought to hide begin to claw to the surface.

Two women whose lives become so entangled that one cannot survive without the other. Two conflicting personalities bringing them to the same fate although only one truly deserves it. Gave me the shivers.

I absolutely love this book, it's so intriguing. You can't help but wonder what will happen in the next chapter everytime you put the book down to do something else. All you want to do is sit down and read.
