Produktbeschreibung
My lady of the chimney corner begins within a rural Irish village, where life moves with the rhythm of hardship and quiet strength. The narrative opens by centering on the presence of a maternal figure who embodies patience and moral steadiness, offering comfort and guidance to those around her. Within the humble surroundings of a cottage hearth, conversations unfold that reflect on kindness, death, faith, and survival. Rather than focusing on major external events, the story draws its power from everyday moments gentle wisdom exchanged by firelight, the consolation of familiar rituals, and a sense of enduring dignity in the face of poverty. The community, though marked by loss and religious tension, is portrayed with empathy, especially through the interactions of neighbors who balance personal grief with generosity. As new generations attempt to find their footing, this domestic world continues to offer both a refuge and a reminder of the values carried by those who came before. The novel builds a portrait not of grandeur, but of quiet heroism forged in daily sacrifice.
Autorenporträt
Alexander C. Irvine was born on January 19, 1863, in Antrim, United Kingdom, to parents who raised him within a working-class Irish Protestant community. His early life in Northern Ireland, marked by poverty and religious complexity, deeply influenced his later writing. As a young man, he emigrated to the United States, where he pursued various occupations, including working in shipyards and as a street preacher, before eventually attending theological school. Irvine became a Congregational minister and combined his spiritual calling with a deep interest in social justice, serving in communities where he advocated for the poor and marginalized. His experiences shaped his literary voice, leading him to author novels and autobiographical works that highlighted the struggles and resilience of ordinary people. One of his most enduring works, My Lady of the Chimney Corner, drew from his own upbringing and paid tribute to the quiet strength of Irish matriarchs. Irvine later moved to California, where he spent his final years. He passed away in 1941 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, leaving behind a legacy of socially conscious writing grounded in personal and communal memory.
