A Sicilian Romance is a gothic novel written by Ann Radcliffe, first published in 1790. The novel tells the story of two young sisters, Julia and Emilia, who are sent to live with their father, the Marquis of Mazzini, in his remote Sicilian castle. The girls soon discover that the castle is haunted by mysterious and terrifying events, including apparitions, secret passages, and strange noises. As they delve deeper into the castle's secrets, they uncover a dark and tragic history involving their father's past and the castle's former inhabitants. Along the way, they encounter a cast of intriguing characters, including a handsome and mysterious stranger, a sinister monk, and a scheming governess. A Sicilian Romance is a classic example of gothic literature, with its emphasis on the supernatural, suspense, and mystery. It is a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone interested in the history of English literature.Having ceased to sing, her fingers wandered over the lute in melancholy symphony, and for some moments she remained lost in the sweet sensations which the music and the scenery had inspired.

A thousand sweet and mingled emotions pressed upon her heart, yet she scarcely dared to trust the evidence of sight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
