The Blithedale Romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne
2.0
My first [a:Nathaniel Hawthorne|7799|Nathaniel Hawthorne|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1291476587p2/7799.jpg]'s and I really don't know what to think. In a way, I thought this one looks to be the least depressing but... that ending was... pointless!
The novel was primarily told from the point of view of a young man, Miles Coverdale, and I feel it was quite messy a lot of the time so all I really heard was:
Zenobia. Priscilla. Hollingsworth.
Hollingsworth. Zenobia. Priscilla.
Priscilla. Hollingsworth. Zenobia.
Really, the main thought that come to mind is posturing males
Yes, I guess the title told you to expect it to be a Romance but it really does not read like a romance. I couldn't appreciate the plot and I especially could not appreciate that ending which just did not feel right to me. I actually do like some of the characters though at the end, they surprised me so not sure if I do! Yep, let's just say that I'm rather confused about this novel.
