Produktbeschreibung
Kit and kitty: A story of west middlesex unfolds through personal recollections and quiet domesticity, drawing readers into a world shaped by family obligation, romantic yearning, and village rhythms. The story centers on a young man whose reflections reveal a deep attachment to his guardian and a growing affection for a woman whose presence gradually transforms his understanding of commitment and class. The narrative blends gentle humor with introspective commentary, focusing less on spectacle and more on the intricacies of loyalty, social position, and emotional awakening. Early moments detail a steady rural existence, where labor in a garden and conversations with a pragmatic uncle frame the narrator s life. This foundation is disrupted by new encounters that introduce romantic complexity and social tension. The shift from passive comfort to active self-discovery propels the story forward, culminating in actions that test character and deepen connection. Rather than sensational events, the novel relies on careful observation and subtle developments to explore how individuals adapt, mature, and risk vulnerability in pursuit of happiness.
Autorenporträt
Richard Doddridge Blackmore, who wrote under the name R. D. Blackmore and was born on June 7, 1825, and died January 20, 1900, was one of the most famous English writers of the 1800s. He was praised for vividly describing and giving people in the countryside personalities. Like Thomas Hardy, he was born in Western England and his works have a strong sense of where they are set. A poster for R. D. Blackmore's book Perly-Cross. Blackmore, who is sometimes called the Last Victorian, was one of the first literary writers of the period that other writers like Robert Louis Stevenson followed. People have said that he is proud, shy, quiet, strong-willed, sweet-tempered, and self-centered. His other books are no longer in print, except for Lorna Doone, his novel, which has stayed famous. In Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), Richard Doddridge Blackmore was born on June 7, 1825, at Longworth. He was born a year after his older brother Henry (1824 1875). His father, John Blackmore, was Curate-in-Charge of the church. His mother died a few months after he was born. She had typhus, which had spread through the town.
