Evelyn; Or A Heart Unmasked

Evelyn; or A Heart Unmasked

by Anna Cora Mowatt Ritchie

Set in the high society of New York City in the late 1830s, "Evelyn" follows the tragic tale of a naive and beautiful young woman named Evelyn as she falls prey to the seductive charm of a feckless adventurer. Through an epistolary narrative, the story unfolds through the alternating perspectives of Evelyn's trusted friend and the charming suitor who seeks to exploit her vulnerability.
