Produktbeschreibung
A quiet revelation of a gilded age, Carolina Lee draws you into the intimate web of a New England salon and the women who navigate it with grace, grit, and imperfect longing. This compassionate, keenly observed tale holds a mirror to turn¿of¿the¿century manners, exploring marriage, propriety, and the quiet dissonance between private feeling and public expectation. Lilian Bell's humane prose surveys social norms with wit and moral clarity, offering a rich blend of genteel ladies fiction and sharp social critique that speaks to both the casual reader and the thoughtful collector. The novel resonates as a late nineteenth century America study in character, choice, and consequence, with a setting that will feel recognisable to Edith Wharton readers and Victoria era romance fans alike. Carolina Lee bears enduring significance as a bridge between classic American fiction and today's rereading culture: it is a work long out of print, now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting library reference readers and new generations of scholars to discover a subtle, enduring voice. A refined, memorable experience for those who cherish late nineteenth century fiction, gender¿role inquiry, and the enduring charm of New England society.
