Charlotte Temple, a cautionary tale for young women, follows the unfortunate adventures of the eponymous heroine as she is seduced by a dashing soldier, Montraville. Influenced by both her lover and an unruly teacher at her boarding school, she is persuaded to run away to America, where she is eventually abandoned by Montraville after he becomes bored, leaving her alone and pregnant. First published in England in 1791, it went on to become America's bestselling novel, only being ousted by Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. (Summary by BumbleVee) (4 hr 41 min)

Grace
America’s first novel is a cautionary tale to guard virtue.
I can see why it was a best seller
Tory F
Getting past the "old times values" I can see why it was so popular at the time. Flowery language is to be expected.
KAB
Good story. One reader was a bit melodramatic.
love the title
