Set in the 19th-century England, the book showcases Wood's eloquent prose and vivid descriptions of the social norms and expectations of the time period. The novel's gripping plot and well-developed characters make it a compelling read for those interested in Victorian literature. Wood's ability to create a suspenseful and emotionally charged narrative keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. A Life's Secret is a timeless tale that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the impact of keeping secrets on personal lives and society as a whole. Mrs. Henry Wood, also known as Ellen Wood, was a prolific English author known for her novels that often highlighted social issues and moral dilemmas. It is believed that Wood's own experiences and observations of the society she lived in inspired her to write A Life's Secret, as the book reflects her keen understanding of human nature and the tendency to conceal one's true self. Wood's insightful commentary on Victorian society adds depth and richness to her narrative, making her work highly regarded in the literary world. I highly recommend 'A Life's Secret' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking Victorian literature with well-crafted plot twists and memorable characters. Mrs. Henry Wood's engaging storytelling and profound exploration of secrets and their repercussions make this novel a must-read for fans of classic literature.

Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood (1814 - 1887), was an English novelist, better known as Mrs. Henry Wood. She is remembered most for her 1861 novel East Lynne, but many of her books became international bestsellers and widely known in the United States. She surpassed the fame of Charles Dickens in Australia. In 1836 she married Henry Wood, who worked in the banking and shipping trade in Dauphiné in the South of France, where they lived for 20 years. On the failure of Wood's business, the family (including four children) returned to England and settled in Upper Norwood near London, where Ellen Wood turned to writing. This supported the family after Henry Wood died in 1866. She wrote over 30 novels, many of which (especially East Lynne) enjoyed remarkable popularity. Among the best known are Danesbury House, Oswald Cray, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles, The Channings, Lord Oakburn's Daughters and The Shadow of Ashlydyat. Her writing tone would be described as "conservative and Christian," occasionally expressing religious rhetoric. In 1867, Wood purchased the English magazine Argosy, which had been founded by Alexander Strahan in 1865. Wood continued as its editor until her death in 1887, when her son Charles Wood took over. Wood's works were translated into many languages, including French and Russian. Leo Tolstoy, in a March 1872 letter to his older brother Sergei, noted that he was "reading Mrs. Wood's wonderful novel In the Maze". Wood wrote several works of supernatural fiction, including "The Ghost" (1862) and the often anthologized "Reality or Delusion?" (1868).
