Although it doesn't pack the emotional wallop of Room: A Novel or Slammerkin, "The Sealed Letter" is another fine novel by Emma Donoghue. It's a historical potboiler focusing on a scandalous divorce case in 1860s London. There are four central characters - the wife, her lover, her friend and the cuckolded husband - whose motives will keep you guessing until (and even after) the climactic courtroom scene.Like all of Donoghue's work, "The Sealed Letter" has clever plotting and sharp dialogue. Her usually dynamic pacing is off here, however, and parts of the book drag. The writing could have been tightened up and the story completed in less than its 389 pages. The way Donoghue structures her novels is very interesting. This one is divided into chapters named for legal terms related to the development and adjudication of the divorce case: "Prima Facie," "Feme Covert," "Actus Reus," "Subpoena," "Counterclaim," etc. (All are translated and explained.) In addition to the intriguing characters and drama, Donoghue uses the story to highlight the precarious legal status of women at the time and the emerging movement for women's education and employment. She can always be depended on for a great story with added layers of social and historical perspective. "The Sealed Letter" is not Donoghue's best, but I thought it was pretty good.
This is an excellent book about women's rights in the middle 1800's in England. It's based on true events and it explores two women's relationship with each other, as well as exploring the attitude toward women in this era. The author has done a tremendous amount of research, and the result is a book that is factual as well as entertaining.I have read other books by this author and they have been as good as this one. I highly recommend this book, as well as others by Dr. Donoghue.
There is no doubt that divorce is a blame game at the heart of it. Nor is there any doubt that there is a single person in this country who hasn't had experience with divorce in some way-either personal experience or from their own or their parent's divorcing or friends, family members or neighbors. Hey, we even get to participate vicariously in celebrity divorces these days. Since divorce was first legalized hundreds of years ago it has morphed from a rare and tragic event to just another method of mass entertainment and ultimately a way to feel superior to those who failed at what is culturally viewed as one of the most important inter-personal relationships.It's not all that rare to read about divorce in historical fiction, especially because of the huge amount of fiction focused on the Tudors. But it is rare to get a truly complete description of the historical process, which obviously differs greatly from today's proceedings. And that is exactly what "The Sealed Letter" is. A complete description of the divorce process as it was in 1864. The novel is even arranged in legal terms that describe each one of the processes leading to the proceedings being initiated and the circus that followed them.This book tells the story of an extremely notorious divorce in English history that captured the attention of the country. Containing multiple allegations of adultery, neglect, alienation of affection, sex in public, attempted rape of a drugged, innocent virgin, and even allusions to lesbianism and circumstances that bear remarkable similarity to the impeachment case against President Clinton. I have no doubts that were the case of Harry Codrington versus Helen Codrington happening today that it would generate just as much interests.But it wasn't the actual divorce case that made this novel so interesting-especially to me. It was the characters and the time period. The book is divided up in third person narrative between the three main players in the divorce (in actuality the divorce has three or four parties to it but one of them never appears in the book and one never narrates) Harry, Helen and Emily "Fido" Faithfull. Seven years before our story begins these three lived under the same roof with Fido, as Helen's best friend, often mediating to keep the troubled and obviously miss-matched marriage together. But as Harry was a navy man the Codrington's were posted abroad and Helen and Fido lost touch.Only to re-connect later on a London street, almost as if by magic. The two attribute their lack of communication to a poor postal system and pick up where they left off-with one major difference-Helen has a constant tagalong now, a handsome young man Colonel David Anderson. It soon becomes apparent to Fido that something is going on between them and her supposedly bosom friend is being less than honest about it.But as Helen's true personality and secrets unfold all three are drawn into the strange divorce process the Victorians used. What follows is fascinating not only from a historical perspective about gender politics but as a measuring stick to how well you can ever truly know your friends, your spouse...and how fragile trust, bonds and vows really are.Unlike Emma Donoghue's other historical novels Slammerkin and Life Mask, "The Sealed Letter" only implies sexuality and is in no way descriptive of lesbianism, sex or violence. But this newer demur writing style takes nothing away from the story (though I have to say I found "Life Mask" more interesting because of its larger scope) and this book will be joining the above mentioned and Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins on my bookshelf.Four point five stars.And if you want more about the historical divorce process then Stealing Athena: A Novel is a good place to find some more non-Tudor legal action-though it is far from the main focus of the book.
I'm a big Emma Donoghue fan because I appreciate how she can take an incident from history and bring it to life. I found this entertaining and compelling.
I doubt between three and four stars. The story starts very slowly. And it takes some time to get going. But it gives a good insight in how things were being done in the 19th century. Well, glad to be living now aqnd not then. And I think for women even more so.Anyway, a good read.
Emma Donoghue is an excellent writer. I especially enjoyed this book because it is a great character study and shows what people think they perceive or trust what others say; and because it was set in the late 1800's early 1900's and showed the perspective on women who choose to be on their own.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has read any of Emma Donoghue's earlier novels that The Sealed Letter is an astonishingly well written and compelling novel. Based on a notorious nineteenth century divorce case, The Sealed Letter explores ideas about friendship and feminism, marriage and motherhood, honor and dishonor with wit, compassion and eloquence. I will call The Sealed Letter a courtroom drama as long as you promise not to imagine for a moment that there is anything of the formulaic in Donoghue's sure hand. A book to read and reread, to savor for its language and its history, its compelling characters and heart-stopping plot. An altogether worthy successor to the extraordinary Slammerkin and the splendid Life Mask.
The timing of the story is the early 1800s. The background clearly shows the thinking of that period. It takes your imagination to place yourself into the mindset of the main characters. When you do this you become caught up in the intriguing situation in which the heroine finds herself. You will be surprised along the way and you won't be able to put the book down until you finish.
