Sometimes I read a book like this and wonder how it can have been so thoroughly forgotten ... and sometimes I read one and think there's a pretty good reason not many people read it. This was one from the latter category. Unless you're a very committed le Fanu fan, this one's probably safely skipped. ( ) Checkmate is the story of a disfigured man and his unknown past, and how he comes to involve himself with a prominent family. Set in Victorian England, the story moves along quickly and comes to resolution only at the very last. A most excellent novel in the gothic tradition; Le Fanu is one of my favorite writers of all time. Recommended inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
