Produktbeschreibung
Jane Oglander centers on a young woman navigating emotional and social challenges following personal tragedy. The narrative begins with a quiet scene on Westminster Bridge, where a man observes her with growing curiosity, struck by her distinct presence amid the city's crowd. His gaze, filtered through longing and fascination, frames her as a figure of purity and quiet resilience. The encounter hints at a convergence of inner turmoil and emerging affection that drives the unfolding story. The observer s reflections uncover not only an attraction but also a projection of ideals tied to heritage, loss, and personal redemption. From this moment, the story deepens into an exploration of the pressures facing individuals, especially women, within rigid social expectations. Through this lens, the book investigates the weight of memory, class distinctions, and the search for authenticity in relationships and selfhood. The tone suggests a persistent tension between public appearance and private truth, mirrored in the slow revelation of Jane s internal conflicts and the observer s own emotional landscape. The work invites reflection on identity shaped by sorrow and the fragile hope for renewal in a society that often resists change.

Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868 1947) was a prolific English novelist known for blending psychological suspense with thrilling plots. Born in Marylebone, London, she spent her early years in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France, and was the only daughter of French barrister Louis Belloc and English feminist Bessie Parkes. Her younger brother was the renowned writer Hilaire Belloc. She married Frederick Sawrey A. Lowndes in 1896. Lowndes began her literary career with the biography H.R.H. The Prince of Wales: An Account of His Career (1898) and continued writing novels, memoirs, and plays for nearly five decades, publishing at least one work per year. Her novels were known for their exciting incidents and psychological depth, with two of them adapted for the screen. Among her most famous works were The Lodger (1913) and The Chink in the Armour (1913). In her autobiographies, I, Too, Have Lived in Arcadia (1942) and Where Love and Friendship Dwelt (1948), she chronicled her life and her family s history.
