Produktbeschreibung

Humphry Mrs. Ward's novel, Lady Connie, is a captivating exploration of social class and morality in late 19th century England. The book follows the life of Lady Connie, a young aristocrat torn between her duty to her family and her desire for independence. Ward's writing style is characterized by its attention to detail and rich character development, making the reader feel as though they are witnessing the events firsthand. The novel is a product of Ward's own experiences growing up in a privileged but stifling environment, giving her unique insight into the complexities of the upper class society. Lady Connie serves as a critique of the rigid social hierarchies of the time, while also highlighting the struggles faced by women in a male-dominated world. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in historical fiction and social commentary, as Ward's nuanced portrayal of her characters and their world is sure to leave a lasting impression.
