Die Gefangene von Valrosa

Given her reputation for childhood classics, I wonder what led her to craft this intense Gothic romance. Was it based on personal experiences or a desire to explore darker themes?

The story's emotional highs and lows kept me engaged, but I felt some parts dragged while others flew by. Was that intentional to build suspense or a personal style?

Her relentless pursuit feels both heartbreaking and unsettling. Do readers see her as a victim of her passions or as a reflection of societal constraints?
