A review by silverliningsandpages
East Lynne by Mrs. Henry Wood

4.0

The author Ellen Wood builds on the preoccupation of the Victorian middle classes with the degeneration of decent society. This is another classic example of “sensation fiction” as it bears all the racy hallmarks of what were considered appalling (but fascinating) themes. It has it ALL going on....murder, seduction, promiscuity, elopement, passion, jealousy, divorce, villainous tricksters, disguises, fraud and diseases!
