In this captivating new woman novel by the author of The Heavenly Twins, we meet a woman who enters our lives with no grand announcement. She quietly finds her place among us, bringing a sense of fulfillment we didn’t know we craved. Her presence is as sweet and familiar as the return of thrushes in spring. Yet, her charm is elusive, marked by a tapestry of contradictions. She shuns ostentation, opting for a simple piece of exquisite lace to adorn her head while tending to her flowers, and dismisses rings as a distraction, even as she wears several given to her by loved ones. Described as striking yet cold, she evokes a complex range of reactions, leaving many to wonder about the depths beneath her surface. Those fortunate enough to engage with her find themselves captivated, pondering her past and future, as she rarely indulges in trivial conversation. Instead, she shares profound thoughts and intriguing ideas, which can leave the less discerning feeling alienated. Aspiring to rise above the mediocrity that surrounds her, she embodies the struggles faced by 19th-century women trapped in unfulfilling marriages. (Summary by Stav Nisser, with the opening paragraph of the book)Copyright Culture and Heritage classics 世界 社会科学
