Vincent are incapable to speaking to each other.

Yet it is also extremely well-plotted, fast and intriguing, and introduces us to someone who to my mind is one of the more interesting heroines in Victorian literature. Certainly it is moralistic, overly sentimental and Ellen Wood's writing style seldom rises above the workmanlike. ![]() East Lynne was one of the most popular novels of the 19th Century, yet, as is usually the case, its critical reception did not match its popular sales. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tristan Thorn is a 17-year-old lad yearning for the affections of the village beauty.
