In last week’s post we talked about Isabella’s talent for writing, and how she created characters and dialog that were realistic and relatable.
But Isabella didn’t hesitate to change her writing style from time to time, if it meant she might attract more readers and win more souls for Christ.
In 1884 she published a collection of short stories that were unique for Isabella. Each story took place in either France or Greece and each was written in the style of a fable or old-fashioned fairy tale.
This month’s free read is one of those short stories. “The Mysterious Benefactor” is set in France and tells the story of a wealthy Parisian lady who embarks upon a tour of the French countryside where she comes upon a family in need.
Famous opera singer Madame de G— anonymously embarks upon a tour of the French countryside to find rest and peace from the demands of her notoriety. But when she comes upon a family in need, she feels compelled to help them. Can she do so without revealing her true identity?
