Bigamy, Bankruptcy, War and Divorce

A bundle of passionate but unclaimed love letters written a century ago and found in a London bank vault have led to the uncovering of an extraordinary story. Research has revealed the adventures of a spirited young woman who by the standards of the time, or perhaps any time, behaved scandalously. Yet she managed to avoid disgrace, get her man, and go on to lead a respectable life.

At first sight Ellen Nelsen's behaviour appears shocking. Among other misdeeds she appears to have been bigamously married twice. Given her circumstances, however, her survival is a triumph of fortitude over betrayal.

Un pachet de scrisori de dragoste pasionale, dar nerevendicate, scrise acum un secol si gasite intr-un seif bancar din Londra, au dus la descoperirea unei povesti extraordinare. Cercetarile au dezvaluit aventurile unei tinere duhovnice care, conform standardelor vremii, sau poate oricand, s-a comportat scandalos.
