![]() ![]() ![]() A Letter Arrives and Then…Ī May day in 1844, a letter arrives at a Connecticut farm, where a hardworking, humble, God-fearing family ekes out a living. All blended into its own uniquely engaging tale set in the Americas. Rebecca, Jane Eyre, Northanger Abbey, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d’Urbervilles – yes, themes and images and plot devices from the Brontë sisters, Austen, Hardy and du Maurier are heavily drawn upon and represented here. ![]() Often compared to Jane Eyre, Anya Seton’s Dragonwyck is a dark, Gothic delight, complete with a haunted mansion, an elusive, cruelly beautiful lord of the manor, a young, naïve, vain, impressionable, silly girl on the cusp of womanhood, and secrets – generations of them.
