velociranga 's review for:
A Sicilian Romance
by Ann Radcliffe
An interesting read, and early example of Gothic Romance. Found it intriguing in how it displays many of the elements of the genre (crumbling buildings, references to a more brutal past, supernatural fears, etc) and enjoyed wondering where the tale of misadventure would go next.
But, ultimately, consistent conveniences and deus ex machina became a bit tiresome, and the writing didn't do enough to really win me over completely. A fine read, but not one that really stuck with me
