Once you have read the final page though you will be left in no doubt that this is a masterpiece and may, as many say, be the mother of all sensation novels.Įast Lynne is a grand old house not to far from the village of West Lynne, you will learn to love the village and all of its wonderful (even if some are downright evil) characters. This isn’t for those of you who are looking for a throw away sensational read you have to dive in and just go for it. In fact the main reason it’s quite a book to get through is because of a whole host of characters (initially a village full) and a whole host of plots.

I want to make it clear that I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mentioned the other day that out of all the sensation season reading material so far Ellen Wood’s (or Mrs Henry Wood) ‘East Lynne’ has been by far the most complex and difficult to get through.
