“We want no proofs; we ask none to believe us! This boy will some day know what a brave and gallant woman his mother is. Already he knows her sweetness and loving care; later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake.”
I enjoyed the book and the reader did a great job! I did tire of all the social limits on women! There were many surprises in the book that I had assumed from watching movies. I'm glad I read it!
It is a classic for a reason. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of gothic and/or classic literature, it is fascinating so see what elements of the book where picked up in pop culture and what was forgotten. But it also holds up as a spooky and engaging story in my opinion.
