So I've just finished reading "Promises". In its own genre I think it's quite a good book, but I was expecting a gothic and thus was thoroughly disappointed. It's just an account of a wealthy Yorkshire family coping with the times and their own personal flaws. It spans 1900 to 1929, which gives us war, emancipation, prohibition and the Wall Street crash to name a few. People conveniently die to make their widows/widowers free to embark on new relationships. "Nine coffins waiting", haha.
After now having read two books by Catherine Gaskin, who is named as an author writing gothic romances, I wonder which of her books really are gothics.
