⭐ Catholic Book Review (3 out of 5 stars):
Sarah Grand’s The Heavenly Twins is a landmark work in Victorian literature, addressing issues of gender, morality, and the “New Woman” movement.

From a Catholic standpoint, the novel offers both valuable social critique and points of caution. Grand’s strong moral concern about fidelity, virtue, and women’s dignity aligns in part with Catholic moral teaching. However, her broader feminist ideology sometimes departs from Catholic anthropology, especially when implying moral autonomy apart from divine law.

The book shines when it promotes chastity, condemns vice, and portrays the tragic consequences of immorality. Its literary quality and character development are admirable, yet Catholic readers should engage it with discernment, aware of the ideological undercurrents.

Final Verdict: Worth reading for its historical and literary significance, but best approached with a well-formed Catholic worldview.
