This story made a sensation in England, comparable only to the scandal that erupted in France on the occasion of the release of Flaubert’s novel, Madame Bovary.
… The successful engineer Henry Robinson demanded a divorce from his wife Isabella. The basis was the diary of the wife in which she described the passion for another man and her erotic fantasies!
The decent Victorian England was shocked. The name of Isabella Robinson became a synonym for licentiousness and debauchery.
And was her diary really so daring and scandalous?
Read the new bestseller Kate Summerskail – the author of the novel “Suspicion of Mr. Weecher, or murder on Road Hill!”
