Reviews

"This is an extremely fine translation. I like the translator's grasp of descriptive passages and her achievement of a modern idiom devoid of jarring anachronisms. To make Nelida available to modern English-speaking readers is to contribute to the history of women's literature, of women's status, and of coming into self-awareness in the nineteenth century."

"Usually I can put a book down, but this novel is such a good exemplar of its type (pre-Freud psychology plus post-Sand romance) and so exquisitely translated that I read it in almost one sitting. This novel needed the recovery translation provides."
