Description

In a vivid tale of gothic horror and wartime terror, Charlotte Smith's evocative prose brings to life the haunting beauty of forbidden love against the backdrop of the French revolution. This volume is part of the Mothers of the Macabre series, celebrating the gothic horror masterpieces of pioneering women writers who played a pivotal role in shaping and advancing the genre. The Old Manor House presents the atmospheric world of the eighteenth-century countryside, where the past and present collide within the walls of an ancestral manor. A heartbreaking love story that pushes the boundaries of societal classes, this novel echoes the tragedy of the North American revolution while the French revolution blazes. With its intricate plot, complex characters, and emotive storytelling, this volume stands as a testament to Smith's enduring legacy as a masterful writer.
