Produktbeschreibung
Pembroke revolves around the complexities of love, willpower, and societal expectations set against the backdrop of a traditional New England village. The story focuses on Barnabas Thayer and Charlotte Barnard as they navigate their complicated relationship, particularly through tensions arising from political and personal disagreements. The novel opens with Barnabas preparing to visit Charlotte, his intended bride, only to be turned away after a quarrel between him and Charlotte's father, Cephas Barnard, over their differing political views. This argument leaves deep emotional scars, especially for Charlotte, who longs for Barnabas but is bound by her father's rigid expectations. The story delves into the characters' inner thoughts, highlighting their desires, struggles, and the societal pressures that constrain them. The natural beauty of the changing seasons contrasts with the emotional turmoil they face, setting the stage for interpersonal conflicts and the exploration of love, duty, and the evolving dynamics of a rapidly changing world.
Autorenporträt
Renowned American writer Mary E. Wilkins Freeman made significant literary contributions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Freeman, who was born in Randolph, Massachusetts, on October 31, 1852, was raised in Vermont before relocating to Brattleboro. She had little formal schooling, but she went on to become a well-known author and prolific writer in American literature. The novels and short tales of Freeman that focus on the lives of rural New Englanders are her most well-known works. Her artwork frequently portrays the difficulties women have in a society that is going through social and economic change. Her astute observations and perceptive character portrayals offer a nuanced viewpoint on the difficulties of interpersonal relationships and cultural expectations. Throughout her multi-decade literary career, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's writings are still examined for their cultural insights and contributions to American literature.
