Beschreibung

"The Misses Mallett - A Bridge Dividing" is a 1922 novel by E. H. Young. Set in Bristol, England, the story revolves around Rose Mallett and her half sisters Sophia and Caroline, who live ostensibly unremarkable lives in Upper Radstowe. However, Rose is engaged in a secret love affair with an unavailable man, and the unexpected entrance of an orphaned niece into their lives threatens to upset the balance she has so deftly tried to maintain. Emily Hilda Daniell (1880-1949) was an English children's writer, novelist, mountaineer, and advocate for female suffrage who wrote under the pen name E. H. Young. Despite being almost completely unheard of now, Daniell was a celebrated author who produced numerous best sellers during her time. Other works by this author include: "Corn of Wheat" (1910) and "Moor Fires" (1916). Read & Co. Books is republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a new specially-commissioned biography of the author.

Autor

E. H. Young, born Emily Hilda Young in 1880, was a prolific English novelist noted for her acute characterizations and portrayals of middle-class life. Young's literary career unfurled in the early 20th century, a period that saw her navigate the complexities of human relationships and societal norms through a feminist lens. Her writing is marked by its nuanced depiction of women's experiences, often challenging the prescribed roles of the time. 'The Misses Mallett' also known as 'The Bridge Dividing' is one of her most esteemed works, where she deftly explores the lives of three unmarried sisters, drawing readers into a deep contemplation of family dynamics and individual aspirations. Young's narrative style is characterized by its subtlety, eschewing melodrama for the more subdued undercurrents of emotion and social commentary. Throughout her 11 novels, Young's work remained consistently thoughtful and compelling, securing her place as a distinguished voice among early 20th-century British authors. After her passing in 1949, E. H. Young left behind a legacy of literary works that continue to resonate for their vivid portraits of personal triumphs and tribulations within the framework of ordinary life.
