A Sicilian Romance by Ann Radcliffe is considered the pioneer of the gothic novel.

On the northern shore of Sicily, the magnificent remains of a castle, which formerly belonged to the noble house of Mazzini, can still be seen. It stands in the center of a small bay, and upon a gentle acclivity, which, on one side, slopes toward the sea, and on the other rises into an eminence crowned by dark woods....

Reseñas editoriales

Listeners will thrill to this gothic romance. The comely Julia loves one man, but is forced by her arrogant father into a marriage for profit. She escapes the castle in which she is trapped and encounters many perils on her run to freedom. Author Ward was a pioneer of gothic fiction. Her novels are filled with lush landscapes and exotic travels, and supernatural phenomena inform the story. A large number of diverse writers were influenced by Ward’s work. Many of those writers exceeded Ward in remaining overtly relevant in literature. In a soft and refined voice narrator Alison Larkin brings a glowing Julia to life. But Larkin’s melodic tone really warms to the text when she shares Ward’s minute and sensual descriptions of nature.

A wonderful performance of an underrated classic of gothic literature. I would love for Larkin to record more books by Ann Radcliffe! Maybe The Italian next?? Highly recommended!

Fabulous performance!

I wanted to listen to this book after it was mentioned in one of Jane Austin’s books.

As per-old-timey stories, it is a little wordy and often has periods of exposition. However, Ms. Radcliffe was capable of creating scenes with a tense and thrilling atmosphere that had me on the edge of my seat at times.

If you are looking for a story to drown out the silence while occasionally stimulating your imagination with scenes of dark abandoned corridors and thrilling chases, I’d say this book makes a good listen.

A little wordy, but still enjoyable.
