Summary
A Gothic novel famously mentioned by Jane Austen in «Northanger Abbey» as an inspiration for the romantic ideals and supernatural fears of Catherine. Ann Radcliffe has been called the «Great Enchantress» of her age and this is one of her finest novels. Supernatural eerie thrills, midnight explorations of draughty corridors and mysterious partly burned notes all play their parts. There are noblemen in disguise, a duel, a trial, a dangerous illness, a deathbed confession and, of course, a dark and handsome hero with a fatal secret! — Summary by Beth ThomasThis project was proof-listened by Betty M. and Mary in Arkansas.
