I loved Ann Radcliffe's prose and the descriptions in the book - especially of the mountains and of Venice - and I also liked the first part of the story, but after a point Radcliffe seemed to be repeating with a new heroine kind of character and the way she revealed the surprises was not very satisfying. But I am glad I read the book. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-51154323793914572062014-01-09T12:08:00.198+01:002014-01-09T12:08:00.198+01:00Thanks, Riv!
