A review by leelulah
The Blithedale Romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne
3.0
Another venture into United States' literature. The story of whether a socialist utopia seems to be realizable is the main point of this book.
I think the over the top Romantic style of the narrator can become tedious to some, but it shows us how turbulent and easily influentiable Mr. Coverdale is. At the same time, the conflicting notions of society and women's rights provide some insights about the real motives of the characters.
It's hard to like any of these people at all, except for the poor and fragile Priscilla.
