Wieland; Or, The Transformation

Wieland unspools as a dark and mysterious American tale. The plot, complex and intricate, begins with a bit of history concerning the immigration of the Wieland family and the somewhat fantastical rise and fall of the father of the novel's protagonists, Clara and her brother, Theodore. Wieland is an epistolary novel. Clara Wieland narrates, presenting the tale as a letter written to a friend.
