I very much enjoyed "Moura" and I think it is a true Gothic. The book is very atmospheric with a kind of creeping brooding sense of threat. Ann Wicklow also is a sensible character, not some frightened ninny, so that adds to the appeal. However I would agree that other books that I have read by Virginia Coffman did not please me so much. I felt this was because they were of a certain era and somehow seemed corny now.
