About This Item
New York, London, Toronto, Sydney, Auckland: Doubleday, [1990]. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (26580). Octavo, cloth backed boards. A reworking of Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "A splendid literary conceit, a psychological thriller of the first rank: the spellbinding journals of an introspective Victorian maid--whose employer is none other than Dr. Henry Jekyll. Martin's triumph here is in making the Jekyll/Hyde melodrama, with all its lure, merely vivid backdrop for the equally alluring psychosexual odyssey of heroine..." - Kirkus review 15 January, 1989. Nebula award nominee. Filmed in 1996 with Julia Roberts in the title role. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-714.
