A Long Fatal Love Chase

An interesting scuttlebutt of a novel, unexpected from someone like Alcott, but she never compromises her style nor her morals for the sake of being non-controversial. I liked seeing this side of her, and the plotline was so sensational, it kept me gasping. Despite how annoyed I became at the fact that the protagonist could never seem to truly escape her fate, Alcott gained my forgiveness for how much this happened with the ultimate climax and ending of the novel. It made me wish for something different, and for something worse and better at the same time. I would definitely read it again, although this is one of those novels that has a tingling sensationalism the first time, and then perhaps become lacklustre with re-reading, as you already know how it ends. Don't regret adding it to my collection nonetheless and I will definitely be reading the other novels that she's written like this.
