I was just looking at the horrible reviews that people are writing about the series. They are obviously younger readers. If I read them now, I would probably hate them too.
But this was the style of writing back then and then add in the fact that they are forgetting it took place back in what the 17th-18th century. Women had no rights, were the property of their fathers or husbands and the men didn't think twice about having another woman on the side.
What I loved about this book is that Serena REFUSED to be a victim! And the scam she pulled to keep Regan at bay was absolutely hysterical!
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Fern early work.
