The Story Of A Modern Woman

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(3,5 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)

"This touching short novel tells the story of Mary Earl, a woman who has to fend for herself in London at the end of the 19th century. She becomes a writer. But she cannot write whatever she wants. There is a format in which her novels should be written- a format she does not like or understand. To make matters worse, she falls in love with a married man. This novel is considered one of the best, and most touching, new woman novels, as it highlights many of the difficulties a single woman faced at the end of the 19th century. The writing is vivid. You can just sit back and let it get into your heart." - Summary by Stav Nisser (5 hr 55 min)
