Twice So Fair DyNedralyre Rosalind Wells' world was torn apart with the death of her husband, Matthew. His body had been found, asphyxiated, in the studio of one of his co-ed students. Rosalind was tortured by more than grief. Was this history repeating itself? Had her husband fallen in love with a student just as he had once done with her when she was a student? Rosalind and Matthew had waited six years for the fulfillment of their love, waited until the death of his invalid wife. They had not been lovers, but they had known they were in love. Had he loved Jeanette Sloan? Was that why he had been in her studio? Rosalind has a deep reluctance to discover the truth, but she knows that she must find it if she is ever to achieve peace of mind. She visits Jeanette Sloan's mother, talks to her classmates, and finally meets a pathetic young man who had been in love with her. Rosalind becomes involved in his story, which is a tragic one, at first on a casual level, but eventually she is so deeply involved in his fate that she even condones a murder she thinks he has committed. Gradually the truth about the boy, about his relationship with Jeanette Sloan emerges, and Rosalind at last can find hope for her own future happiness. A unique quality of suspense, understated and almost unbearable, animates this superbly written növel.
