megmerante 's review for:

Oroonoko by Aphra Behn
3.0

Considering the time period this was published in, I was surprised at how into the story I was. Its a compelling tale of desperate, commited love that never really catches a break. It was even Romeo-and-Juliet-esque. I loved that this story, despite being published in the 1600s, was narrated by a woman. I'd recommend it, for historical purposes and because it really is a good story.
