Through the glass she sees a vast silhouette the size of a mattress.Itâs Mr. Chartwell.Charismatic, dangerously seductive, Mr. Chartwell unites the eminent statesman at the end of his career and the vulnerable young woman. But can they withstand Mr. Chartwellâs strange, powerful charms and his stranglehold on their lives?
