1896. More mystical fiction from Corelli. This book will appeal to any woman who has had her intellectual and spiritual nature retarded by an overbearing man.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and Engaging!,
By Queen of Cups (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder of Delicia (Paperback)
Grant Allen called Corelli in the pages of Spectator, "a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius by a public whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." Today, if Corelli were writing, she would be on the New York Times bestseller list and Oprah would probably read her and recommend her for her moral messages wrapped in a romping good plot with lots of drama and passion. Do you just love a good read and to damn with the literary critics? Then sink your teeth into this late 19th century novel and enjoy!
