ursulaDear World,
Why didn't you tell me that Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote novels for adults? Or, for that matter, that she had a scandalous affair and was divorced twice?
This novel was published in 1896. THE HEROINE HAS PREMARITAL SEX AND THEN KILLS HER SEDUCER ACCIDENTALLY WITH A LEAD-WEIGHTED RIDING CROP AND WALLS UP HIS BODY IN HER CELLAR. And she marries the man she loves and lives happily ever after as the perfect wife with six kids.
I don't care how much it talks about Christ, this is revolutionary, I tell you, revolutionary. Damn you, Trollope! Damn you, Barren Ground!
[Same game.]
