About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Secresy, or, the Ruin on the Rock by Eliza Fenwick . Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. This is the story of Caroline and Sybila, two female friends. Strong and smart women who try to make it in a man's world while keeping their values and loyalties in tact. The only way to do that is to hide a few secrets. Yet secrets cannot remain hidden for ever, and everything has a price. This is both a social novel and a Gothic novel. A true page turner with all the elements of a good 18th century novel: a woman locked in an estate, a hidden pregnancy, some politics of marriage, villains, sentimentality and thought provoking philosophy. Summary by Stav Nisser.
