One of literature’s most gripping epistolary dramas tracks coercion, grooming, and resistance with forensic attention. Across letters, reputation becomes a battleground and consent a line constantly pressured. Its length is not indulgence but immersion: you feel manipulation tightening, then the hard-won dignity that refuses it.
Essential for discussions of power, blame, and narrative control. The letter form exposes gaslighting in real time, inviting readers to weigh evidence and voice. It is harrowing, humane, and startlingly contemporary in its ethics.
Testimony as plot engine.
Manipulation seen from within.
Social rules become weapons.
