A review by rme93
Millenium Hall by Sarah Scott
4.0
This is one of those books that I wouldn't recommend to a general reader.
I study the eighteenth century as a grad student, so I don't mind the language and found it an interesting take on women's issues through the lens of the first revival. The fact that it was written by a woman is a deviance from the norm in this period. If you are NOT historically interested in the period, and/or if you do not frequently read text from that time, you probably won't like this and will find it really boring.
If you are interested in an eighteenth century novel, but want something more accessible, I would recommend Pamela by Samuel Richardson or a book by Henry Fielding (I really like his iconic take on Pamela, Joseph Andrews, as well as his classic novel Tom Jones).
