I read this ahead of a session at the Bradford Literature Festival on coercive control - it's an significant perceptive, brave novel from a young woman in 1848, using letters and diaries to get first person view points.

First sentence: Dear Halford, when we were together last, you have me a very particular and interesting account if the most remarkable occurrences of your early life, previous to our acquaintance; and then you requested a return of confidence from me.

Non si possono recensire i classici.
Quindi mi limiterò a una opinione estremamente personale.
Questo romanzo é stato di una noia mortale e di una prevedibilità estrema.
La protagonista mi è stata antipatica in modo estremo con tutto il suo essere così pia e buona, e tutte le menate vittoriane hanno preso essenzialmente il sopravvento su tutto.
