DESCRIPTION:
A mystery to be read in the context of the time when it was written. OLT There's a treasure trove of free reading material in the public domain that's available for Kindle. One reader's treasure, however, may be another reader's trash. This was a treasure for me, but not only for the read itself but also because of the author and the story behind the read.Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) was a prolific writer of plays, short stories, essays, poems and 75 novels during the Victorian era in. "Interesting Read" according to myz. LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET's title would suggest that the book holds in its pages something that would deeply scandalize the reader. I suppose, the fact that it didn't surprise me, when the ominous secret was finally revealed, says something about what our society has grown accustomed to, as well as the fact that I read too many crime novels;-)That being said, I did rather enjoy reading this book. The story flowed well, and . "Read this book." according to Patricia. An excellent choice of reading, if you enjoy: words creating exquisitely depicted scenes, Conversations with meaning, an excellent plot with twists and turns quite unexpected, and surprisingly good ending.I highly recommend
The story is fast-paced and the main character, Lady Audley, is a refreshingly manipulative and resourceful villainess filled with passion and desires that threatened the male dominated Victorian era.. This work is a full blooded Victorian, sensationalistic melodrama! Murder, arson, blackmail, bigamy; not many ingredients are missing in this entertaining piece
