Produktbeschreibung
The red court farm: A novel Vol. I explores the slow unraveling of suspicion, secrecy, and emotional tension beneath a village s calm exterior. Set in a remote coastal settlement shadowed by forgotten ruins and windswept cliffs, the novel uses its atmospheric setting to evoke isolation and the echo of unresolved legacies. The story centers around a family whose internal bonds begin to fray as hints of past misdeeds, dreams, and inexplicable impressions emerge through dialogue, behavior, and memory. Beneath ordinary routines lie quiet fears and latent rivalries, which the rural stillness can no longer contain. The house itself, built on history and partially estranged from the village around it, becomes a symbol of inherited burden and eerie ambiguity. Conversations, especially with newcomers, subtly stir the unease, revealing fragmented perspectives and mounting anxieties. What begins as observation grows into apprehension, where local belief, psychological unrest, and relational strain merge. The book crafts a subdued yet building intensity as it contemplates guilt, judgment, and the quiet weight of the past.
Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood, widely known under the name Mrs. Henry Wood, was a prolific English novelist born on January 17, 1814, in England. Her literary career gained widespread popularity in both Britain and abroad, especially after the publication of her most renowned work East Lynne in 1861. Her writing style combined elements of mystery, morality, and domestic life, contributing to her lasting appeal during the Victorian period. She married Henry Wood in 1836, and they had a son named Charles Wood. After her husband's death in 1866, she supported her family through her writing and editorial work. She also managed the magazine Argosy, to which she contributed both fiction and editorial commentary. Though many of her novels are lesser known today, her stories enjoyed international readership during her lifetime and were especially well-received in the United States and Australia. In Australia, her popularity once exceeded that of Charles Dickens. Ellen Wood died in London on February 10, 1887, at the age of 73 and was buried in Highgate Cemetery. Her parents were Thomas Price and Elizabeth Price.
