Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-15 00:00:00 Godiswhite White The book contains two stories, the first being the history of the Tyrone Family. As I started reading, it became engrossing, but immediately I had the notion of what the story will be about. Reminded me of the story of Jane Eyre, except that had a happy ending, and it was written more like a romance story, while the History is more of a tragedy, a fact of life, and the author represents the facts like it is without much embellishment or opinions. The second story, the Murdered Cousin was better in my opinion, although it could have become more sinister if the author wished it. The story is about a young heiress, who goes to live with her uncle, where her cousin proposes to her. Although young, she is not naive and understands fully why the proposal is made and hence unfolds the story of her survival in a household of vultures...

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-10 00:00:00 Cheri Wehage "A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family" is a weirdly built short-story...But! People who have read Jane Eyre will find there a story which could have influenced C.Brontë in the creation of her plot concerning the mad woman, the byronic hero and the important use (and meanings!) of mirrors in the novel. Sheridan LeFanu, however, doesn't create a story as gripping as Brontë's Jane Eyre, perhaps because of the size of a short-story or because of his own writing strategy (only a "chapter in the history" where J.E. embraces -almost- the whole life of her heroine). A must-read at least to discover Sheridan Le Fanu or to enjoy J.E. even more!
