Produktbeschreibung
That which hath wings: A novel of the day centers on the turbulent emotional and societal journey of a newly married couple as they attempt to reconcile love, expectation, and uncertainty on the eve of global upheaval. The story opens with a portrait of affluence and promise, as a young aristocratic pair steps into married life amid the glow of a lavish society. Their bond, forged through vibrant courtship and mutual admiration, is soon tested by internal doubt and external obligation. The wife, already unsettled by the traditions that accompany her new role, finds herself struggling with the concept of motherhood. As she attempts to understand her own instincts and responsibilities, tensions emerge that reveal deeper fissures in their relationship. Their early conversations expose a growing dissonance between personal conviction and the rigid codes of the upper class. With war looming, the couple s private conflicts become entangled with the broader anxieties of a nation on the brink of transformation. The narrative juxtaposes privilege with vulnerability, inviting reflection on identity, freedom, and the cost of maintaining appearances when the world around them begins to fracture.
