Sinopsis

In "The Tiddly Winks," Laura Rountree Smith crafts a whimsical yet poignant exploration of childhood imagination and the bittersweet passage to adulthood. Set against a backdrop of a small-town America in the early 20th century, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of young protagonists who find magic in everyday moments, from the simplicity of playing with marbles to the complexities of their family dynamics. Smith's lyrical prose, infused with a nostalgic tone, invites readers to reflect on the interplay of innocence and experience, encapsulating the essence of growing up amidst the joys and challenges of life. Laura Rountree Smith, an author with a rich tapestry of experiences, draws on her own childhood in a tight-knit community to breathe life into this story. Her background in art and literature informs her vivid imagery and character development, allowing her to evoke a strong sense of place and time. Smith'Äôs own journey through the complexities of personal relationships and societal expectations enhances the emotional depth of the narrative, making it resonate with readers of all ages. I recommend "The Tiddly Winks" to anyone seeking a poignant yet playful meditation on the fleeting nature of childhood. This book serves not only as a delightful escape into a world of imagination but also as a reflective commentary on the inevitable transitions we face as we grow older. It is a must-read for those who appreciate literary works that celebrate the beauty of life's simplest moments.

    Móric Jókay de Ásva was born on the 18th February 1825 in Komárom, then in the Kingdom of Hungary but now part of Slovakia.  
    Due to his timid and delicate constitution he was educated at home until the age of 10 and then sent away to complete his studies at the Calvinist college at Pápa. 
    At 12 his father died, and he was pushed to honour him by replicating his career as a lawyer.  He studied hard and completed the curriculum at Kecskemét and Pest.  He won his first case as a newly graduated lawyer. 
    But he found a career in law to be dull and, encouraged by the positive reaction to his first play, he moved to Pest in 1845.  There he published, first in a newspaper, and then as a novel ‘Hétköznapok’ (‘Working Days’).  It was acclaimed as a masterpiece.  To add to his promise he was appointed as the editor of Életképek, the leading Hungarian journal. 
    In 1848 he married the actress, Róza Laborfalvi.  That same year Europe was awash with revolutions and Jókai, a moderate Liberal, enthusiastically supported the nationalist cause and its decision to depose the Habsburg dynasty.  The attempt failed. 
    He was now classed as a political suspect and threw himself into his literary career, writing dozens of novels, many of them masterpieces, stories, essays and the like.  In total he wrote several hundred volumes, many of them in the local Magyar language which helped arrest its declining relevance in society.  
    By 1867 the political temperature had cooled, and he entered parliament as well as becoming the editor a government journal he had founded.   His skills were much admired and helped the government navigate through several difficult matters.   
    His wife died in 1886 but although grief-stricken he continued to work and to write.  
    In 1897 the king appointed him a member of the upper house.  Two years later he caused a minor scandal by marrying the young 20-year-old actress, Bella Nagy.  At the time he was 74.

    In the time when women often died in childbirth and men remarried to have someone to care for the house and children, new mothers sometimes cut off relationships with the maternal grandparents. Ellie is a strong young woman faced with circumstances that are not her choice. When Ellie's older sister Regina dies at the birth of her third child, her parents request that Ellie break off her engagement to the man she loves and marry their son-in-law, John, so the children will stay in the family. 
    Ellie reluctantly agrees but determines in her heart to give it her all to make it a good marriage. She and John begin life with a somewhat contrived feeling to their relationship, but love grows because they are both committed to it.
