The Romance of the Forest

Ann Radcliffe, a pioneer of Gothic literature, had her first major success with The Romance of the Forest. Critically acclaimed as the ‘mighty enchantress’, she fused the supernatural, terror, romance and history to forge clever and compelling novels. Here young Adeline escapes danger with the La Motte family, finding refuge in the darkness of a decaying abbey, with its hidden passages… but what secrets are held here? Whom can she trust? Threatened and tested, she gradually uncovers her mysterious heritage. Sublime landscapes and psychological tension enrich a thrilling story – which, thanks to this superb audio performance that includes original song settings, can now be enjoyed in the dark for full effect!
