Book Description

Short excerpt: She smiled and extended her arms, and a whole flock of the birds came fluttering about her in a whirl of wings, perching on her shoulders and alighting at her feet.

About the Author

Marie Corelli (1855-1924) was the most popular novelist of the turn of the century, outselling Hall Caine, Mrs. Humphry Ward, H. G. Wells, and Arthur Conan Doyle by the thousands. For thirty years she was ridiculed by reviewers and the literary elite--Edmund Gosse dismissed her as "that little milliner"--but these opinions had no impact on her mass appeal. In 1895, with The Sorrows of Satan, she broke all previous publishing records, and by 1906 a Corelli novel sold 100,000 copies a year. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice story about the treatment of women, Mar 3 2010

By Phil - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This is a pretty good story of a girl on a farm who discovers that she is a foundling and goes off to London where she becomes famous. Corelli's writing is fairly simple, but she keeps the story interesting by creating emotional, believable characters. She does a very good job developing the girl's progression from naivete through downfall, though I found the downfall to be a bit sudden and overdone. A favorite theme of the author's is how men like to control women, and how men disapprove of women expressing their intellect and artistic ability. I'm guessing that Corelli was a victim of that treatment, and wrote about it in the hope of getting men to realize the idiocy of it.

I just finished a book similar to this one, with two female leads and a completely different ending- Infelice by Augusta Wilson.
