false 50239 40 I threw the piece of paper on the fire. She saw it burn ... Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his benevolent older cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in Philip as his heir, a man who will love his grand home as much as he does himself. But the cosy world the two construct is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries - and there he dies suddenly. In almost no time at all, the new widow - Philip's cousin Rachel - turns up in England. Despite himself, Philip is drawn to this beautiful, sophisticated, mysterious woman like a moth to the flame. And yet ...might she have had a hand in Ambrose's death? 623258 book 1951 My Cousin Rachel total:1452|5:331|4:566|3:431|2:103|1:21| 1452 5439 2138 204 5 4 false false Sun Oct 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 16:06:34 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 06:28:19 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 5 3 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1960 Tue Jan 29 09:36:29 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 09:56:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 13:41:01 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 10:24:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Thu Aug 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 08:49:06 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 15:51:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Fri Jun 13 09:56:18 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 09:56:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 15:14:26 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 08:42:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Dec 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 14:49:32 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 14:49:32 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 15 12:50:48 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 12:50:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 13:21:37 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 13:22:52 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 20:00:05 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 19:43:32 -0700 2009 it's four days later. today i was at the pool with one of my other books, & felt a strange void/longing that i couldn't immediately identify. then i realized the least time i was at the pool i was reading this...more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 21:06:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 09:10:29 -0700 2009
