The Chimney Sweeper's Boy is a novel by Barbara Vine, pseudonym of British author Ruth Rendell.
[edit] Plot summary
When successful author Gerald Candless dies of a sudden heart attack, his eldest, adoring daughter Sarah embarks on a memoir of him and soon discovers that her perfect father was not all he appeared to be, and that in fact he wasn't Gerald Candless at all.
Candless's neglected wife Ursula gradually regains her self-confidence and begins a new relationship as she realises that the unhappiness of her marriage was due, not to her own shortcomings, but to her husband's latent homosexuality.
