I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

The Romance of the Forest | Ann Ward Radcliffe, Chloe Chard

Mehso-so

While fleeing Paris, conman La Motte is forced to take under his wing Adeline, on the run from her father, who is trying to force her into becoming a nun.

Although the effects of scenery on people's moods are important all through the book, the author really goes overboard with the travelogue sections of vol. 3, apparently based on travel books of the time. This striving for geographical realism is odd given how unrealistic the people are.

AnishaInkspill it's so brilliant that you read this, I thought about it but remembering Udolpho didn't help, what's amazing is how popular these novels were in their own time. One day I will go back to Udolpho and maybe even read this. 3w
rwmg @AnishaInkspill I read Udolpho a very long time ago and found it quite tedious, but this has the advantage of being shorter. 3w

It‘s a #RandomClassics miracle! I finished Evelina!
I ended up restarting it a couple of weeks ago on a long hike with a different narrator and that made all the difference! I quite enjoyed this and I think I‘ll probably pick up a little print version sometime in the future.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! So exciting!! 😂 I enjoyed this one, but all the dreadful relatives/bickering just gave me secondhand embarrassment too much to really love it haha 4mo

#litsylove #litsyloveblitz My oldest letter to respond to is about 3 months back, but I have decided once again to send every LitsyLove member a postcard, so my letter writing will be further delayed. I'm happy with the idea, though, so hopefully this goes smoothly 😜

dabbe Does it have a 🫎 on it? 🤩🤩🤩 8mo
