5.0
What a long read! But the time invested was repaid with emotional investment -- I felt more than once how sorry I was that Orlando's hopes were blasted, and found myself anxious when I put the book down about Monimia's fate. Seems to be doing much of the same social commentary as Northanger Abbey will later, in a much more seriously earnest way -- none of the Gothic horrors need superstition or historical distance to render the characters' distress plausible.
