Zofloya, or The Moor

$8.90

Goodreads rating: 3.56

$8.90

If you're drawn to classic Gothic novels that push boundaries, you might find "Zofloya, or The Moor" compelling because of its exploration of forbidden desires and complex morality. Charlotte Dacre offers something quite provocative with Victoria di Loredani's character: a woman whose challenging journey from privilege into debauchery contradicts the traditional, virtuous depictions of women in literature of that time. It's a story that won't just entertain; it'll provoke thought about the societal norms and the dark corners of human psyche.
