Sorry for the long absence! Just got back from a glorious vacation in Tulum, Mexico, so I'm still playing catch-up.
I love reading about Romantic era's obsession with the occult, so the first half of this book, with its mysterious ghost, seance, and ultra-logical unmasking of fraud was great fun. The second half slowed for me a bit, and I'm afraid my history was too rusty for me to grasp the significance of the religious conversion plot until the very end. Still, it's always fun to read a nearly forgotten classic. B
