A review by irismessenger
The Coquette by Cathy N. Davidson, Hannah Webster Foster

5.0

I read this for class, and I actually really loved it. There is something unique to the "Seduction Novel" genre in that this book does not make you hate the "Rake." Since it is based on a real story, I think it was hard to conceal the complexities of love into the stereotypical storyline of a ruined woman. It's my belief that Eliza Wharton was happy to finally be free in the end.
