A review by poppymaeve
East Lynne by Ellen Wood

5.0

I can't get over how good this book was. I knew what was going to happen in it, as it was featured on a documentary a couple of weeks ago, but I found that despite this I was still gripped. I would've loved to read it without knowing what was going to happen though, as I imagined I would've loved the book even more - if that's possible.

With over 600 pages, I can honestly say - hand on my heart - that there wasn't a single boring page in the whole novel. There was never a moment where I felt slightly bored, or didn't care about what was going on. And I don't say this lightly, because in even some of my favourite books of all time there are a couple of pages or so where I lose interest.

I can't believe that this novel isn't more well known, and I will defiantly be recommending it to everyone I meet.
