Miss Emily "Fido" Faithfull is a "woman of business" and a
spinster pioneer in the British women's movement, independent of
mind but naively trusting of heart. Distracted from her cause by
the sudden return of a once-dear friend, the unhappily wed Helen
Codrington, Fido is swept up in the intimate details of Helen's
failing marriage and obsessive affair with a young army officer.
What begins as a loyal effort to help a friend explodes into an
intriguing courtroom drama complete with accusations of adultery,
counterclaims of rape, and a mysterious letter that could destroy
more than one life. Based on a scandalous divorce case that gripped
England in 1864, "The Sealed Letter" is a riveting, provocative
drama of friends, lovers, and divorce, Victorian-style.""
