'Evelyn; or A Heart Unmasked' Summary
Unfolding through an epistolary exchange between an unmarried female confidante and the relentless seducer, "Evelyn" immerses readers in the heart-wrenching tale of a young woman's innocence and the devastating consequences of her misplaced trust. Influenced by the works of Swedish author Fredericka Bremer, the novel explores themes of unrequited love, social satire, and the fragility of female reputation in the face of societal pressures. Set against the backdrop of New York society in the late 1830s, the story culminates in a tragic denouement, leaving readers to contemplate the complexities of human relationships and the dangers that lurk beneath the glittering surface of high society.Book Details
