Nice story about the treatment of women,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Innocent : her fancy and his fact (Kindle Edition)
This is a pretty good story of a girl on a farm who discovers that she is a foundling and goes off to London where she becomes famous. Corelli's writing is fairly simple, but she keeps the story interesting by creating emotional, believable characters. She does a very good job developing the girl's progression from naivete through downfall, though I found the downfall to be a bit sudden and overdone. A favorite theme of the author's is how men like to control women, and how men disapprove of women expressing their intellect and artistic ability. I'm guessing that Corelli was a victim of that treatment, and wrote about it in the hope of getting men to realize the idiocy of it.
I just finished a book similar to this one, with two female leads and a completely different ending- Infelice by Augusta Wilson. |
