Henry Dunbar

English novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon's reputation as a novelist was made by a favorable review in The Times of "Lady Audley's Secret." Full of seedy sensationalism and murder, Braddon's cleverly well-written novels were extremely popular with the reading public, and their popularity continues to this day. "Lady Audley's Secret" remains as her best-known and most popular novel, but "Henry Dunbar" is considered to be her best. Her books give the great body of readers of fiction exactly what they require: inventive and exciting plots and fascinating characters. Braddon was a very prolific writer, producing some 75 novels which won her a great deal of recognition and fortune as well as envy from the contemporary likes of George Eliot herself.
