The Quaker City by George Lippard | Gothic Classic of Mystery, Crime & Corruption Part 2

Catholic Review: ⭐⭐⭐½A dark and sensational Gothic novel exposing greed, lust, violence, corruption, hypocrisy, and injustice in antebellum Philadelphia. Lippard's depiction of moral degradation is often disturbing, but the novel's condemnation of vice, exploitation, and abuse of power provides material for Christian reflection on sin, justice, repentance, and the consequences of moral corruption. Not recommended for children or listeners seeking wholesome fiction.
