Inamorata is a 2004 novel by American novelist and screenwriter Joseph Gangemi. [1] The book was released on January 22, 2004 through Viking Adult and focuses on the investigation of Mina Crandon, a spiritualist from, the 1920s. [2] Film rights for Inamorata were purchased in 2006 by Johnny Depp's film company, Infinitum Nihil. [3]
Inamorata follows Martin Finch, a young college student from Harvard University and member of Scientific American, that is set to investigate Mina Crawley, a socialite and alleged spiritualist. Finch is sure that he will find proof that Crawley is a fraud but instead finds himself smitten with the beautiful young woman.
Critical reception for the book has been mixed to positive, [4] [5] with a reviewer for The New York Times criticizing the main character of Finch as "an oddly blank protagonist". [6] Inamorata received positive reviews from the St. Petersburg Times and The News Journal , with the reviewer for the St. Petersburg Times calling it a "compelling debut". [7] [8] In contrast, the Journal Sentinel overall panned the novel, stating that it started well but later "unravels". [9] Publishers Weekly gave a mixed review, writing that the book was enjoyable but that plot was "a bit weak" and that references to songs and wisecracks from the era "wear thin". [10]
