Book Reviews of Dragonwyck
Book Review: Nice Job!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book at age 17, nearly 30 years ago. I pulled it from a dusty shelf at my grandfather's home. I loved it then; I was swept away into a history of which I knew nothing and an unconventional love story with supernatural elements. I have been thinking of it ever since and for the longest time could not find a copy anywhere (should have stolen granddad's!) I caught the movie version of it on the classics TV channel and was disappointed in Vincent Price's portrayal of Nicholas - he is not at all what I imagined while reading the book. However, since Anya Seton's books have been reissued, I now have my own copy which I finished reading yesterday. At last! I was just as riveted by it this go-around as I was at age 17. Yes, it is melodramatic. Yes, sometimes you must suspend disbelief. Yes, Nicholas is over-the-top. And I loved every minute of it. Part of why I appreciate it even more now is that there are no graphic sex scenes; Ms. Seton wrote this in an era where there were constrictions on such things, and she leaves enough to the imagination so that we get the picture without all the huffing, moaning and puffing. And it still makes for an exciting, titillating story - imagine that. So if you are of a mind for this sort of thing, "Dragonwyck" does not disappoint!
