Produktbeschreibung
The book of Evelyn opens in a modest apartment nestled within a New York brownstone, where a woman quietly reenters the city s rhythms after years spent abroad. Surrounded by reminders of a life once marked by privilege, she now finds herself adjusting to solitude and a world that moves swiftly and indifferently around her. The quietness of her new space contrasts sharply with the vibrant noise outside, reflecting her internal conflict and the uncertainty of her return. Her reflections reveal a tension between longing for connection and the distance imposed by social boundaries and unspoken expectations. Her interactions with others in the building particularly a young woman filled with ambition illuminate the varied pursuits of those who share her environment, drawing attention to the fragile alliances and occasional warmth that emerge in close quarters. The narrative invites a deeper exploration of purpose, dignity, and belonging within a society that often prioritizes appearance over substance. This early glimpse into her world establishes an atmosphere of introspection and quiet resilience, as she begins to rebuild a life shaped not by loss but by the decisions that follow it.
Autorenporträt
Geraldine Bonner was born on Staten Island, New York, into a literary environment shaped by her father, John Bonner, a journalist and historical writer. Her early years were marked by a significant move to Colorado, where she experienced life in mining camps, a setting that would later influence much of her fiction. After relocating to San Francisco, she began her professional writing career at the Argonaut newspaper in 1887. Bonner's writing extended beyond novels into short stories that appeared in prominent periodicals such as Collier's Weekly, Harper's Weekly, Harper's Monthly, and Lippincott's. Her literary contributions reflect a deep engagement with themes of social structure, isolation, and the American experience, particularly within mining and frontier communities. Geraldine Bonner died in New York City on June 18, 1930, leaving behind a diverse body of work shaped by both rugged landscapes and human complexity. Her parents' names include John Bonner and his spouse, though her mother's name is not recorded.
