From the back:
'She was special.
That's what Ruth Yancey's worn-out mother told her every day of her life. And Ruth was beautiful, with a fiery splendor that rose above her squalid Georgie mill town roots. It was those looks - and her inbred belief in a powerful destiny - that led Ruth to the most exquisite mansion in Sparts, Fox's earth. Through insinuation, manipulation, and an impenetrable evil, she became its mistress for three generations... with masterful precision, she broke her descendents' hearts and bled their souls... until another woman, not of her blood, not of her station, attempted to match her madness...'

I bought this book at a secondhand bookmarket to replenish my available engelish books for trade, but was captivated by the description of the story on the back cover. I intend to read this book, unless I can trade it for a book I really, really want.
