Review by Library Journal Review
Hardy's 1880 tale finds two longtime friends looking back on their lives, which, despite their similar backgrounds, couldn't be more different. One has been lucky in business but has a loveless marriage; the other doesn't have a nickel to his name but has been graced with the riches of a loving wife and family. Dating back to 1844, Rappaccini's Daughter is part romance and part Gothic horror story. A student discovers a hidden garden and a beautiful woman who seemingly lives in it but soon learns that both are not what they seem. This edition also includes Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown and A Select Party. For literature collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
