Written in the late 19th century, Carey's literary style is marked by its detailed character development and exploration of emotional depths.

Rosa Nouchette Carey, a prolific Victorian novelist, drew inspiration for 'Lover or Friend' from her own observations of courtship and friendship among the upper classes. Her keen eye for social dynamics and her deep understanding of human nature shine through in the novel, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. Carey's dedication to portraying authentic relationships grounds the narrative in emotional truth, making 'Lover or Friend' a timeless exploration of love and companionship. I highly recommend 'Lover or Friend' to readers who enjoy thoughtfully written character-driven novels that offer insight into the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
Autorenporträt
Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840-1909) was a distinguished English novelist of the Victorian era known for her work that appealed primarily to young girls and women, with themes often revolving around domestic life and women's experiences. Born on September 27, 1840, in Stratford-le-Bow, Carey grew up in London, a setting that features in many of her narratives. Her early education fostered a deep love for literature, which she pursued with vigour in her later years. Carey's writing career began in the 1860s, and she quickly became known for her engaging characters and her ability to address the societal expectations placed upon women at the time. Notable works, in addition to 'Lover or Friend,' include 'Nellie's Memories' (1868), which brought her recognition, and 'Wee Wifie' (1875), emblematic of her talent for capturing the nuances of domesticity and moral issues. Her literary style is marked by its clear narrative flow, refined descriptions, and a didactic quality intended to impart moral lessons to her readers. A prolific writer, Carey published over forty books in her lifetime. Her work fell in line with contemporary authors like Charlotte M. Yonge, endorsing Victorian values while still advocating for a degree of female independence and education. Notably, her stories often resonated with societal changes occurring during the late 19th century, especially those concerning the role of women. Carey passed away on July 9, 1909, but she left behind a significant body of work that continues to offer insight into Victorian life and the evolving roles and aspirations of women during that era.
