The story of Charles Strange: A novel Vol. III reflects a subtle journey through familial change, loss, and emotional awakening. Set in a quiet English rectory, the novel opens with a child s limited understanding of mortality and love, as he navigatess the early signs of his mother's decline. The domestic world, carefully observed through youthful perception, reveals tenderness as well as a growing shadow of fear. The initial setting, though peaceful, contains tension as conversations begin to suggest truths that the young protagonist is not yet ready to fully grasp. The rectory, village, and surrounding countryside form a backdrop against which emotional transitions take place, particularly the child s shifting understanding of safety, permanence, and affection. As loss approaches, small routines and gestures become charged with significance. The parental bond and its fragility are central, providing a foundation that will be challenged by absence and the uncertain future ahead. With each small moment, the novel quietly prepares for the lasting effects of early grief, inheritance of memory, and emotional resilience developed across time.
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.
