A review by ilseoo
The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe

3.0

3,5 stars. Compared to 'A Sicilian Romance', which I read last year, I felt that Radcliffe's plot development was more plausible and structured in this later novel. Moreover, the nature descriptions and tension were great and the plot wrapped up nicely. However, there was a big section of this novel which seemed inordinately long and pointless and slowed the narrative down for me and ultimately lessened my enjoyment of it.
