Stoddard leaves little to the imagination in this startling New England bildungsroman about a strange girl and her even stranger sister

Cassandra and Veronica Morgeson are wild girls. Adored by men, hated by women and feared by their parents--they break the mold. Veronica refuses to leave the family hearth or look at the ocean. Cassandra travels from one house to another around Massachusetts, breaking hearts and sending men to their deaths wherever she goes. She narrates it all in a bold voice that will surprise and shock even those most familiar with 19th-century literature. Henry James called The Morgesons a remarkable book by those who had the good fortune to come across it. As with all of Mandylion's bespoke publications, this new edition of Stoddard's first novel includes a visual glossary that illuminates the social conventions and restrictions of the 19th century.
