Inspired by the
photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron, Afterimage is a provocative,
passionate, yet delicate Victorian novel. When the young Irish maid Annie Phelan
arrives at the country home of Isobelle and Eldon Dashell, she is swept into a
world of artistic ambitions and hidden passions. But she also discovers a
marriage that has grown distant and two people who see her as a blank slate upon
which to project their own desires and failed dreams. Jealousy, longing and
sensuality intertwine in this mesmerizing novel of aesthetic obsession and
unfulfilled dreams.
