Strange Fits of Passion
A riveting story told within the framework of one reporter's notes and a woman's letters from prison. A successful journalist in New York, Maureen English appears to have the perfect life and family. But her husband, a fellow reporter, has a tendency towards alcohol and violent abuse. Maureen flees with her baby daughter. In a Maine fishing town she assumes a new identity and settles into a new life. But this ends suddenly, leaving behind a murder, a rape charge, a suicide and a helpless child. Nineteen years later, a cache of documents regarding Maureen English - abused, accused and imprisoned - are given to her daughter by the journalist who made her name reporting the case. The papers raise far more questions than they answer...
