A Natural History of The Romance Novel, by Pamela Regis

A Natural History of The Romance Novel



This cover is romance!
A young woman in a green gown, reading a book.
Dim bluish-green light surrounding her, like the round light from a candlelight.
In the "candlelight" a few clouds are shown - to me clouds represent dreaming, drifting away, relaxation, daydreaming.
The most of the cover is dark, which makes me think of secrets - and what is a romantic story without secrets?
The title and the author name are written with beautiful old writing Italic letters - this writing style has always been one of my favourites, because it makes me think of romance (and of fantasy/adventure, but that's another theme)
What are your thoughts on this cover?
