Produktbeschreibung
Nigel Browning examines the return of a man shaped by travel, memory, and emotional connection to the familiar world he once left behind. As the protagonist steps back into the rhythms of Newton Bury, his sense of place is shadowed by unresolved relationships and shifting family expectations. The early scenes carefully draw attention to small but resonant details: the comfort of a known path, the silent changes time has imposed, and the unspoken weight of longing for someone absent. Nigel's walk through town is not merely physical but emotional, linking him to unhealed parts of his past and highlighting how deeply identity can be tied to memory and place. His father's weakening health and the town's reaction to his return create an atmosphere of subtle tension, where affection, obligation, and social perception intersect. Nigel's internal dialogue and the quiet stirrings of remembered affection for a woman he has not seen reflect a story built on introspection more than action. These elements create a structure where personal duty and the pull of the heart conflict in ways that speak to enduring questions of belonging, responsibility, and love.
Autorenporträt
Agnes Giberne was born on November 19, 1845, in Belagavi to parents Captain Charles Giberne and Lydia Mary Wilson. She became a prolific British author, known for combining religious instruction with storytelling, particularly for young readers. Much of her fiction reflected the values of Victorian evangelicalism, often featuring moral dilemmas, spiritual lessons, and character growth grounded in Christian principles. Her stories typically targeted children and adolescents, aiming to inspire both ethical behavior and faith. In addition to her fiction, Giberne contributed significantly to popular science writing, producing accessible works on astronomy and other scientific topics for young audiences. Her ability to simplify complex concepts without losing scientific accuracy gained her respect in an era when science education was not broadly accessible. Giberne also explored historical fiction and wrote a notable biography, showcasing her versatility and commitment to educational literature. She died on August 20, 1939, in Eastbourne, United Kingdom, at the age of 93.
