Synopsis

In 'The Story of Jessie,' Mabel Quiller-Couch crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the themes of resilience and personal growth. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of early 20th-century literature, Quiller-Couch employs rich descriptions and vivid character development to immerse readers in Jessie'Äôs journey. Set against the backdrop of a quaint English village, the story deftly explores societal expectations and the transformative power of love and friendship, reflecting the evolving views of gender and identity prevalent during the time of its publication. Mabel Quiller-Couch, a noted figure in the literary circles of her era, was influenced by her diverse experiences as a teacher, writer, and member of the Quiller-Couch literary lineage. Her deep appreciation for storytelling and her understanding of human emotions shaped her narrative style, allowing her to create relatable characters and evocative plots. Living during a time of considerable social change, Quiller-Couch'Äôs personal reflections and cultural insights are woven intricately into Jessie'Äôs tale, offering readers a glimpse into the intricacies of life in an earlier England. I wholeheartedly recommend 'The Story of Jessie' to anyone seeking a beautifully crafted story that resonates with timeless themes. The novel not only entertains but also provokes contemplation about the struggles and triumphs of its characters, making it essential reading for those interested in women's literature and the historical context of social norms. Quiller-Couch's exploration of resilience will linger in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.

    The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle
    
    First published as Bless Thine Inheritance by Sophia Holloway.
    Celia Mardham's first London Season should have been a great success, but a near fatal riding accident has left her with a pronounced limp which means she cannot even curtsy, let alone dance.
    Condemned it seems to spinsterhood, her mother Lady Mardham makes one last effort. She draws up a list of guests for a country house party, picking only young ladies who will not be rivals, as well as some potential suitors.
    Among the gentlemen is Lord Levedale and when he meets Celia he sees her, not the limp. However, a number of accidents, misunderstandings and spiteful interventions litter the path ahead, and may succeed in driving them apart for good.
