A review by rach_eb
East Lynne by Mrs. Henry Wood

3.0

Wow, what a wild ride. This seems to be going for a Middlemarch-esque narrator effect, but it comes off like Middlemarch would if it was super salacious and lacked its subtlety and nuance. I do appreciate the scandal of it all, but the moralizing got tiresome and the plot was just a liiiiittle too unbelievable for me (a husband not recognizing his wife because of colored glasses and baggy clothes? Really?).
