Charlotte Temple by Susanna Rowson
My rating: 2/5 cats
this book is baaaaaad. it is melodramatic and sentimental and full of ‘woe is me’ and ‘what shall i do’ and beseeching and fainting and fits and inexplicable deaths. i want montambo to read it because of all the people herein who are faced with unpleasantness, fall into a fit, and die. i want a doctor to tell me what that is all about. and i also want to know how playing the harp with a man for a half hour can knock you up. because i don’t want a baby, but i do love the harp…
