A review by lady_literati
Pamela by Samuel Richardson

5.0

I am utterly appalled at how low the rating for Pamela is on goodreads. Pamela is by far the most enjoyable book I have read to date. This novel (one of the first) published in 1740 takes on issues of society. An epic case of Stockholm syndrome between a young maidservant and her unruly master. What's not to love? This epistolary novel by Samuel Richardson deserves more respect! It's a phenomenal read.
