On her deathbed, Mathilda writes a letter to her only friend, revealing the dark secret of her past, a secret so shameful, she can only manage it now because her time is running out. Written between 1819 and 1820, author Mary Shelley unfortunately never saw this novella published. Though he enjoyed the writing, her father, William Godwin, refused to return the manuscript to her after she asked him to get it published in England, because he found the theme "disgusting and detestable". The world was, therefore, deprived of this beautifully written story about love and despair until 1959.
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English author, best known for her classic novel `Frankenstein‘ (1818). She got the idea for the novel at the age of eighteen when she was on holiday in Switzerland with Lord Byron and John William Polidori.

3.5 ⭐Primero que nada, es una excelente novela en cuanto a narrativa; el estilo romántico destaca en toda la historia.En cuanto a la historia per se, toca temas sensibles pues Mathilda narra desde su lecho de muerte, el tipo de amor que su padre le tuvo y como éste al no ser correspondido termina con el suicidio. Ante esto Mathilda vive contrariada y rebasada por los sentimientos entre alivio y culpa, lo cual genera que viva siempre con el pesar de la soledad y falta de amor incluso cuando conoce a Woodville. Una historia contrastante entre amor y pena, mucho drama y nostalgia.
