The Madness of a Seduced Woman

“A REMARKABLE BOOK….A RIVETING, INTRICATE AND ALTOGETHER ASTONISHING NOVEL.”

-Alice Walker

The Madness of a Seduced Woman

Susan Fromberg Schaeffer

Set in turn-of-the-century Vermont, here is a shocking, timeless novel of obsessive love….a haunting portrait of one woman’s fierce abandonment to her dreams and passions—and her tragic descent into a world from which she might never escape…

Agnes Dempster is a mysteriously beautiful woman who has shielded her heart against anything but a perfect love. Not until she meets one dynamic man does she experience the first awakenings of all-consuming passion. To him she gives herself completely, joyously, desperately. Until betrayal demands from her a terrible and unforgiving vengeance.

“ENGROSSING… A WOMAN IMAGINED AS WE WOULD NEVER DARE.”

-The New York Times Book Review

Whoa..! I mean this book is more than astonishing! I’ve been spending a lot of my time reading books. And I must admit that I am currently in love with this book. The Madness of a Seduced Woman is more than just a love story. It was magnificently written and it’s timeless.

I could perfectly see myself in the character of Agnes. (Except of course for the fact that she was born inside the package of wealth and beauty. Other people thought that there’s nothing else in the world she would ever wish for. ) She had longed for a perfect love and thought she had found it or at least she thought she had. She met Frank, the man who awakened the intense affection that drove her to do things she had never imagined doing and she had isolated herself inside the imaginary world she had created for the two of them. Agnes became as blind and as deaf as she had been to the world that she thought had never liked her from the beginning. It’s sad to think, that her love for him had only brought her into an inescapable nightmare.

Love is indeed a dangerous thing. It is a great equalizer; it can turn a devil to a sweetest angel and can definitely turn an angel to a freakish devil.

When you love, you’ll be willing to do anything and everything just to have it. Not even the impossible thing can stop you.
