Ishmael, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Mary Elizabeth Braddon was a well known British author of the Victorian era. She achieved great success with her first novel, Lady Audley’s Secret, and went on to become a popular author of more than fifty novels. Ishmael, was one of her lesser known works. This book provides readers with the opportunity to read the work of one of Britain’s most inventive authors.

This book is volume two in a three-volume series. The first chapter, entitled “As a Rose from the Hand of a Hunter” is actually the fifteenth chapter of the book. Readers should be advised that they must first read volume one in order to read volume two.

Ishmael is a typical work of Braddon and is representative of her overall style. The story is sensational and contains fantastic characters, including the staple strong female lead that appears in so much of her work. Volume two is where the plot of this story really takes off, and readers who have invested time into this book are rewarded with a sizzling conclusion.

While there are certainly better known novels by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Ishmael is a good entry point for a reader unfamiliar with the author. The story is classic Braddon, a mix of devious characters and exciting plot twists. If you are a fan of Victorian-era fiction and are looking for your next novel, Ishmael would make a great choice.
