Yes, but *Sir Charles Grandison* IIRC is... Written by Adrian (3/4/2009 12:41 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Right. As BarbaraB says below ..., penned by TimLee

...nothing like the novels Isabella commends to Catherine in Bath. From what I recall reading in Amazon blurbs, Sir Charles is someone who always does the proper, gentlemanly thing (a Col. Brandon type). It seems the sort of book one would find in a clergyman's library.

I also suspect that during her many lyings-in, Mrs. Morland had time to read even long books over and over through the years.

My sense is that Catherine might well have read Sir Charles Grandison herself, but I do not think she ever says so.
