Synopsis "C'etait ecrit (in French)"

Iris Henley est brouillée avec son père: Celui-ci souhaite la voir épouser Hugues Montjoie, profondément épris d'Iris. Mais Iris aime un autre homme, Lord Harry. Malheureusement, la vie dissolue de celui-ci rend le mariage impossible, et elle a renoncé à le voir. Mais les circonstances de la vie vont faire que les chemins d'Iris et de Lord Harry vont à nouveau se croiser, alors que celui-ci est pourchassé par une association d'Irlandais qui rejettent l'occupation anglaise. Lord Harry, marginalisé, à court d'argent, va entraîner Iris dans ses turpitudes...

(London 1824-1889) Playwright, novelist, and prolific short story writer. At 17, he started working at a tea trading company while writing Ioláni, or Tahiti as it was (Gothic no. 32), a work that was not published until over a century after his death. He studied Law and, although he never practiced, he did use his legal knowledge in many of his works, and critics consider him one of the fathers of the detective genre. In 1851, he met Charles Dickens, with whom he formed a deep friendship and published his main works in his weekly All the Year Around. After Dickens' death in 1870, his popularity waned. He suffered from rheumatic gout which eventually led to an opium addiction. His tombstone epitaph highlights him as the author of the novel The Woman in White.
