aminahslibrary 's review for:

The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
4.0

lots and lots of prose on the landscape and nature that was at times charming, but sometimes read like a very dull travel journal (for a modern reader - i think a contemporary one would enjoy this)
emily was a bit of a damsel in distress but held her own quite well for a gothic heroine
love interest was a bit underwhelming and absent for most of the novel surprisingly
was a lovely read if a bit long and at times waffling
