There's no doubt in the world that this novel is ridiculously over-the-top, full of damsels in distress fainting and bursting into tears and wicked men engaging in murder and kidnapping. The plot is dramatic to the extreme, with faraway castles, mysteries and dastardly schemes crowding the pages. However, that badness is actually what makes this book such great, relentless fun. Textbook gothic novel, highly recommended.
