Produktbeschreibung

In "Missing," Mrs. Humphry Ward intricately weaves a narrative of suspense and emotional depth, exploring themes of loss, identity, and social consciousness in early 20th century England. The novel unfolds through the eyes of its protagonist, who grapples with the mysterious disappearance of a loved one, reflecting the uncertainties of an era marked by rapid social change and the challenges of modernity. Ward'Äôs lyrical prose and rich character development invite readers into a vividly depicted world where personal dilemmas mirror broader societal issues, allowing a profound examination of the human condition. Born Mary Augusta Ward, Mrs. Humphry Ward was a prominent novelist and social reformer whose works often addressed the complexities of human relationships and moral dilemmas. A well-educated woman, she was immersed in the intellectual currents of her time, with connections to influential figures such as Thomas Hardy and George Eliot. Her own experiences with loss and her commitment to social issues profoundly shaped her writing, making "Missing" both a personal and reflective narrative. I highly recommend "Missing" to readers who enjoy psychological depth blended with intricate plotting. It not only serves as an engaging mystery but also as a poignant exploration of emotional landscapes, ensuring that Ward's insights into the human spirit resonate well beyond her time.
