Produktbeschreibung
Non-combatants and Others is a novel that explores the profound impact of the Great War on people, delving into how their lives are altered by the social and emotional upheaval caused by the conflict. The narrative examines themes of loss, identity, and societal change, focusing on the roles people have to assume in the absence of those who went off to fight. As many individuals take on new responsibilities, such as working in offices or on the home front, they confront both the challenges and freedoms that come with these changes. The story also reflects on the emotional toll of war, capturing the feelings of isolation, grief, and resilience among those whose lives have been forever changed by the loss of loved ones or the disruption of traditional roles. Through these experiences, the novel sheds light on the shifting social dynamics of post-war England, emphasizing the complexities of adjusting to a new reality where people were forced to navigate both the personal and societal effects of war.

Autorenporträt
Rose Macaulay was an English author who was born on August 1, 1881, and died on October 30, 1958. She was best known for her award-winning book The Towers of Trebizond, which is about a small group of Anglo-Catholics who cross Turkey by camel. People see the story as a spiritual autobiography because it shows how her views changed and sometimes clashed. Virginia Woolf had an effect on some of Macaulay's stories. She also wrote biographies, travel books, and poetry. Macaulay was born in Rugby, Warwickshire. Her father was a classical scholar named George Campbell Macaulay, and his wife was a woman named Grace Mary Coughlin. Her father came straight from the Macaulay family of Lewis through the male line. After going to Oxford High School for Girls, she went to Somerville College at Oxford University to study Modern History. After leaving Somerville, Macaulay started writing her first book, Abbots Verney, which came out in 1906. The Lee Shore (1912), Potterism (1920), Dangerous Ages (1921), Told by an Idiot (1923), And No Man's Wit (1940), The World My Wilderness (1950), and The Towers of Trebizond (1956) are some of his later books.
