A review by thefriendlybibliophile
Oroonoko by Aphra Behn

1.0

This book was horrible for so many reasons. The writing itself wasn’t bad but the story, themes, and atrocities that occur are absolutely horrible. I had to read this for one of my British Literature classes and I honestly hope that I never have to read it again. I really hope that Aphra Behn was just making up stuff or at least fictionalized most of and that this isn’t a true story because if it is then some people in humanity are even worse than I thought they could be.

Why did the feminists of the 90s dig this up?
