      The more books I read by Charlotte M. Brame (aka Bertha M. Clay), the more I like her.“The Shadow of a Sin” kept me engaged throughout because I cared about the main characters, particularly the lead female Hyacinth.Hyacinth at first comes across as spoilt and rebellious, but the reader soon finds out that she’s naïve and kind. Hyacinth’s been mislead by a man she thinks she loves, and she's lead astray by him because she suffers a boring lifestyle courtesy of her rigid aunt.As the story develops, Hyacinth’s character becomes increasingly appealing, as does the plot. Of course, because of the time this was written, the problems and obstacles the characters face are, in many respects, trivial compared to how society’s values have changed. As a result, this novel won’t appeal to everyone, but it suited my tastes.
