This 19th Century gothic novel includes a lot of singing. While the words to the ballads become a little tiresome, the novel itself is interesting.Luke Bradley (the son of Susan Bradley Lovel) assumed he was the illegitimate son of Sir Piers Rookwood, but he discovered on the death of his father that his parents WERE actually married. Naturally the current Lady Rookwood wishes to suppress this information, as Luke would supplant her own son (Ranulph) as heir.
Luke was raised by gypsies, and is romantically involved with Sybil, grandaughter of the Gypsy Queen, when he meets his cousin Eleanor Mowbray for the first time. Through manipulations of both his Grandfather, Sexton Peter Bradley, and the gypsy queen, they attempt to arrange a marriage with Eleanor instead. Because the family is filled with control freaks they ruin more than one life.
I usually enjoy reading this genre, but I only gave it 3 stars because the author doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of women. Most of the women in the novel cheat on their husbands, turn their lovers in to the authorities, or figuratively stab them in the back.
