A review by csnow33
The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe

5.0

What doesn't this novel have? Guns, swords, wars, theft, murder, seduction, high-speed chases, kidnapping, blackmail, romance, action, adventure, ghosts, hallucinations, elaborate escapes, confusing deaths, secret passageways, peaches, wine, revenge, innocence, creepy forests!

Hands down one of the most exciting pieces of literature I've read in a long while. If you're at all curious about the types of books that heavily influenced the works of Jane Austen, then I highly recommend this!
