About this audiobook
The fate of a young university student, an amoral scientist, and his beautiful daughter clash in this Gothic tale of science and control. All the young men in Padua, Italy have fallen for Beatrice, who tends the exotic plants in her father's garden. Giovanni makes his way into the garden and Beatrice's heart, but the joy of young love shatters when he uncovers a terrible secret about her father's work. This twisted gothic story presents powerful literary themes with the thrill of horror.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and biographer. His work centres on his New England home and often features moral allegories with Puritan inspiration, with themes revolving around inherent good and evil. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism.
