Project Gutenberg 2013-08-21 Public domain in the USA. 92 Fenwick, E. (Eliza) 1766 1840 Fenwick, Eliza Secresy; or, Ruin on the Rock Secrecy; or, Ruin on the Rock E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau, Mary Meehan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Secresy; or, Ruin on the Rock" by Eliza Fenwick is a novel written during the late 18th century. The story focuses on the lives and emotional struggles of two main characters, Caroline Ashburn and Sibella Valmont, as they navigate the complexities of love, authority, and personal freedom within the confines of a castle ruled by the stern Mr. Valmont. The narrative unfolds through a series of letters that explore their intimate thoughts and feelings toward one another and the world around them. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Caroline Ashburn, who begins by writing a letter to Mr. Valmont regarding his niece, Sibella. Caroline expresses concern for Sibella's well-being, suggesting that Mr. Valmont's strict seclusion of her niece may not be in her best interest. Sibella, in her correspondence, reveals her dissatisfaction with her uncle's controlling nature and her yearning for freedom, particularly her love for Clement Montgomery, a young man her uncle wishes to distance from her. The opening sets the stage for the unfolding drama of personal desires versus societal constraints, with rich character dynamics and an underlying critique of the rigid class structures of the time.
