Produktbeschreibung
The Misses Mallett (The Bridge Dividing) portrays three unmarried sisters and their niece in Upper Radstowe, a thinly veiled Bristol. Young charts the choreography of calling cards, promenades, and parlors, tracing how flirtation, memory, and thwarted ambitions shape a small community. In lucid, quietly ironic prose, she fuses domestic comedy with exacting psychological realism. The alternative title signals the novel's central tension: the fragile bridge between passion and propriety, between generations who remember and those who desire. Emily Hilda Young (1880-1949) honed her vision in the streets and terraces of Bristol, where she lived, translating knowledge of social gradations into fiction. Her Radstowe novels, including William, Miss Mole, and Chatterton Square, pursue the ethics of everyday life with unsentimental clarity. An unconventional private life and a keen appetite for independence sharpened her interest in the costs of respectability and the quiet audacities of women negotiating constraint. Readers drawn to the moral finesse of Elizabeth Taylor or Barbara Pym will find The Misses Mallett a bracing and elegant companion: a novel that rewards close attention to nuance, cadence, and motive. It is recommended to anyone seeking an urbane, tenderly satirical study of love, pride, and compromise in the modern English novel. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.

Autorenporträt
E. H. Young, born Emily Hilda Young in 1880, was a prolific English novelist noted for her acute characterizations and portrayals of middle-class life. Young's literary career unfurled in the early 20th century, a period that saw her navigate the complexities of human relationships and societal norms through a feminist lens. Her writing is marked by its nuanced depiction of women's experiences, often challenging the prescribed roles of the time. 'The Misses Mallett' also known as 'The Bridge Dividing' is one of her most esteemed works, where she deftly explores the lives of three unmarried sisters, drawing readers into a deep contemplation of family dynamics and individual aspirations. Young's narrative style is characterized by its subtlety, eschewing melodrama for the more subdued undercurrents of emotion and social commentary. Throughout her 11 novels, Young's work remained consistently thoughtful and compelling, securing her place as a distinguished voice among early 20th-century British authors. After her passing in 1949, E. H. Young left behind a legacy of literary works that continue to resonate for their vivid portraits of personal triumphs and tribulations within the framework of ordinary life.
