Por: Fanny Burney

Delve into the world of Wanderer, the final masterpiece from Fanny Burney, acclaimed author of Evelina, Cecilia, and Camilla. Embark on a journey with the mysterious Miss Ellis as she boards a ship from France to England at the onset of the French Revolution. Stripped of her purse, she finds herself at the mercy of both benevolent and malevolent characters. But always, she takes solace in the thought that her fate is better than what might have been... This captivating tale goes beyond a mere mystery, weaving a romantic narrative reminiscent of Jane Austens works. Released in 1814, the same year as Mansfield Park, it explores similar themes, boldly highlighting independent women, weak male figures, and the torment of unrequited love. A love triangle ensues, leading to an uncertain ending that may not be traditionally happy. Critics of that era deemed the socio-political issues and the struggles of Ellis as fictional, but dont let that deter you. This progressive, mature novel was arguably a century ahead of its time. Immerse yourself in this intriguing narrative and experience the joy of reading! (Summary by Stav Nisser. Proofread by Elaine Webb and TriciaG.)
