Produktbeschreibung
A house in Bloomsbury explores the contrast between youthful innocence and the quiet struggles of adulthood within a modest yet complex domestic setting. A young girl observes the world around her with curiosity, offering insights that reveal both her naivety and her growing understanding of human relationships. Her father, absorbed in intellectual pursuits, provides stability but remains emotionally distant, leaving her to navigate the subtleties of companionship and loneliness on her own. The story highlights the delicate interplay between social expectations and personal aspirations, as characters grapple with love, isolation, and the silent sacrifices that define their lives. The tensions between personal desires and societal roles emerge through the relationships within the shared home, where warmth and companionship coexist with unspoken disappointments. As the protagonist matures, she begins to recognize the emotional complexities hidden beneath everyday interactions, challenging her perceptions of happiness and fulfillment. Through its quiet yet profound observations, the novel examines the emotional depth found in ordinary lives.
Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
