A review by hannahlee
The Castle of Wolfenbach: A German Story (Gothic Classics) by Eliza Parsons

2.0

This would have been a one-star review, since the writing in this book is plain awful, even considering it was another time, and the characters are infuriatingly dumb, but darn it all, there was one brief exciting passage where the main character is captured by corsairs! So I give it two. But never again, Eliza Parsons! When folks weren't bursting into floods of tears they were telling (or refusing to tell) long-winded stories about horrible murders. A great window into the world of books referred to in Northanger Abbey, but doesn't stand up well on its own.
