It didn't achieve the notoriety of her debut novel Glenarvon which contained a thinly-disguised portrait of her former lover Lord Byron, although the protagonist Ada Reis has some Byronic elements.[3] Critical reception of the novel was mixed and Caroline's sister-in-law Emily described it as "a strange farrago".[4]
