- Marie Louise de la Ramée was born to a French father and an English mother. Her pen name of "Ouida" (WEE-da) was derived from a childish mispronunciation of the name Louise. Educated in Paris, she settled in London in 1857 and began her literary career by contributing stories to periodicals such as The New Monthly and Bentley's Magazine. After her early success with the popular novels Held in Bondage (1863) and Strathmore (1865), Ouida quickly became the best-selling British writer of witty, romantic novels such as Moths (1880) and Princess Napraxine (1884). In 1874, she went to live in Florence, and many of her books written after that had Italian settings. Despite their overheated plots and ridiculous heroes, her books were popular until the end of the century. She made a lot of money from her writing, but died in poverty.

This book is particularly memorable to me because of the fact that it was my first novel. Though originally written in English, I read it in Japanese. But the language difference didn't hinder me from relishing the book.
Having read the book as a child in elementary school, I learnt how a good time suddenly turns into a nightmare. I was shocked by the fact how ruthlessly cold and altering life could be. Reading the novel made tears pour out of my eyes, but it was not just a complete tragedy. I smiled, cried and felt an array of emotions. I genuinely enjoyed every page.… (más)
