When puritanical artist Henry Chester sees delicate child beauty Effie, he makes her his favorite model and, before long, his bride. But Henry, volatile and repressed, is in love with an ideal. Passive, docile, and asexual, the woman he projects onto Effie is far from the woman she really is. And when Effie begins to discover the murderous depths of Henry's hypocrisy, her latent passion will rise to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSleep, Pale Sister\u003c\/em\u003e combines the ethereal beauty of a Pre-Raphaelite painting with a chilling high gothic tale and is a testament to Harris's brimming cornucopia of talents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43413940338943,"sku":"9780060787110","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780060787110_s600x595.jpg?v=1780334504","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780060787110","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
