Produktbeschreibung
The Heart of Una Sackville by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey follows the journey of Una Sackville, a young woman embarking on her path to independence after leaving school. As she transitions into adulthood, Una seeks to understand love, relationships, and what lies ahead in her future. The story captures the social expectations placed on women in the late 19th century, particularly within the professional middle class, while exploring themes of family, friendship, and personal growth. The novel opens with Una beginning a diary to document her thoughts as she navigates this pivotal time in her life. She reflects on leaving school, her emotional farewells, and her relationships with her classmates. Through her diary, we gain insight into her struggles with the pressures of growing up, her desire for independence, and the complex dynamics within her family, especially with her father and mother. As Una searches for love and her place in the world, her experiences highlight the challenges of balancing youthful aspirations with adult responsibilities. With a tone that is both light-hearted and introspective, the novel offers a window into the coming-of-age process during a time of societal constraints on women.
