Sicilian Romance | Ann Radcliffe

Pickpick

(1790) Ear-read during a long drive, this is Radcliffe's second novel and packed full of Gothic tropes: an exotic location (Sicily! Land of hot-blooded lovers!); a large sprawling mansion with decaying disused maybe-haunted rooms where mysterious lights appear; secret passages, family scandals, star-crossed love, and lots of fainting and almost-fainting and bursting into tears. It's a lot of muchness, but it was a welcome traveling companion

Ruthiella I‘ve only read The Mysteries of Udolpho, but the heroine in that one cries and faints in every chapter, it felt like. 😂😭 2mo
swynn @Ruthiella I haven't read Udolpho yet, but ... yeah ... 2mo

This book is a Caldecott medal winner. The illustrations are awesome and the storyline is great! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Written in 1790, this book has surprisingly free female characters. Most of the time wen couldn't act without male presence, but did a few times. Female desire was regarded highly and the book was very anti-parental forced marriages.
