Waiting on Wednesday

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you're continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.
I can only imagine that readers will be confused when they are seeing the comparison for this week: why would you post a book that's going to come out in 2020 will compare it to a book that was published in late 18th century who no one has heard of? I think more than anything what motivated me to post this particular book is the summary: that the women in both novels are trying to have perfect lives, and perhaps they may or may not succeed. Enjoy!

Camilla by Fanny Burney 

Published Date: 1796 

(From Goodreads) First published in 1796, Camilla deals with the matrimonial concerns of a group of young people - Camilla Tyrold and her sisters, the daughters of a country parson, and their cousin Indiana Lynmere-and, in particular, with the love affair between Camilla herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. The path of true love, however, is strewn with intrigue, contretemps and misunderstanding.

An enormously popular eighteenth-century novel, Camilla is touched at many points by the advancing spirit of romanticism. As in Evelina, Fanny Burney weaves into her novel strands of light and dark, comic episodes and gothic shudders, and creates a pattern of social and moral dilemmas which emphasize and illuminate the gap between generations.

It's a long shot, but does Camilla by Fanny Burney sound at all exciting?
