Why read it?
1 author picked The Lost Melody as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sometimes you need a good read to curl up with on a rainy day, one that’s a bit melancholic yet romantic at the same time. I know I do, and The Lost Melody checked both those boxes. My heart ached for heroine Vivienne Mourdant, for have we not all struggled with reality now and then? And who wouldn’t if trapped within an insane asylum? This one kept me guessing until the very end as to how poor Vivienne would ever escape in one piece.
Definitely more Jane Eyre than Jane Austen.
From Michelle's list on to satisfy Jane Austen and Jane Eyre lovers.
