Produktbeschreibung

Thomazine and Thankful (...For, or otherwise, His Deliverance) Russell have been married for almost six years. With a perfect house, two perfect children, and an almost perfect husband, she should be the happiest woman alive.

In the bitter winter of 1668, six years after their unlikely marriage, Thomazine and Thankful Russell find themselves confronting the joys and challenges of family life in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Russell, a scarred veteran of the Civil War and former exile in the Dutch Republic, seeks to bring the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas to their children, much to Thomazine's dismay. The damaged, self-doubting man she married has grown into a successful businessman in his own right, and as Christmas approaches, tensions between tradition and change surface. Thomazine, practical and grounded, questions her place in a new world of wealth and social expectations that feels far removed from her humble roots. Meanwhile, Russell reflects on a life shaped by war, loyalty, and love, grounded in redemption and a hard-won sense of worth.

Set against the backdrop of Christmas in a lovingly detailed Buckinghamshire household, this heartwarming tale explores what it means to find belonging, build a home, and rekindle joy in the face of life's trials. Blending historical richness with tender domestic moments, A Quiet Mediocrity is a moving portrait of a family discovering the light that love and forgiveness can bring during the darkest season.
