Customer Reviews

Insightful Look into Corelli's Spirituality.

This book is a direct affront to the "High Decadence of the Yellow Nineties" and their moral deconstructions. Marie, although decadent and florid in much of her style and philosophy of writing, is at the same time rather morally strict in her own views of ethics and rules of conduct - especially in regards to spirituality. A rather entertaining read if you have read her novels. Sort of makes you wish you could sit down and have a proper tea with the old gal and really get inside her head!
