Produktbeschreibung
The Game And The Candle explores the complex interplay of familial duty, love, and moral choices. The story follows two brothers who, facing impending financial ruin, are forced to confront the consequences of their privileged lives and the lengths they are willing to go to protect their family. Struggling with the decision to turn to crime in order to save their home and loved ones, they wrestle with the conflict between their loyalty to their family and their sense of right and wrong. The tension between sacrifice and self-preservation is central to the narrative, as the brothers navigate their inner turmoil and the external pressures that threaten to tear their world apart. The allure of quick solutions through morally questionable means clashes with the emotional stakes tied to their loved ones' well-being. As they consider actions that could have irreversible consequences, the story examines the cost of decisions driven by desperation and the boundaries of loyalty, exploring how far one might go to preserve both family and status.
Autorenporträt
Eleanor Marie Ingram (1886 1921) was an American author best known for her novel The Thing from the Lake, which was serialized in Everybody's magazine before being published in book form in 1921. Her writing career, though brief, left an impact, with her stories often blending elements of mystery, family drama, and suspense. Ingram's works were marked by their exploration of dark secrets and complex emotions, with The Game and the Candle and The Flying Mercury being notable examples of her skill in creating tension and intrigue. Though she passed away at a young age in 1921, her work continues to be remembered for its atmospheric narratives and the way she portrayed intense psychological and emotional conflict. Her literary contributions, particularly in the mystery and family saga genres, helped define early 20th-century American fiction. Ingram's exploration of human nature, love, and the hidden darkness within families remains a point of interest for those who study her work.
