Sinopse

In "Dusty Answer," Rosamond Lehmann intricately explores the intricacies of youthful love and longing, entwined with the passage of time and the awakening of self-identity. The novel, marked by its rich psychological depth and lyrical prose, delves into the emotional landscape of its protagonist, Judith, as she navigates the complexities of her feelings towards her childhood companions. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I England, the narrative reflects the era's shifting social mores and the burgeoning sense of modernity, drawing on influences from the literary modernism of the time. Rosamond Lehmann, a notable figure in 20th-century literature, is renowned for her keen observation of human relationships and emotional depth. Born in 1901 into a prominent literary family, her experiences in the English countryside and her education deeply informed her writing. "Dusty Answer"—her debut novel published in 1927—captures her personal encounters with love and longing, showcasing her unique voice that resonates with the complexities of youth and the pains of awakening. This poignant exploration of growing up and the bittersweet nature of love makes "Dusty Answer" a compelling read for those interested in the emotional nuances of human connection. Lehmann's exquisite language and thoughtful characterizations invite readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and loss, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

When a family from the United States buys Canterville Chase, they are told it is haunted by a horrible spirit, but this does not deter them in the slightest. Indeed, when they find a recurring blood stain on the floor, and hear creaking chains in the night, even seeing the ghost himself, all they do is clean up the blood and insist that the ghost oil his manacles if he is going to keep living in the house. This perturbs the ghost to no end, and he does everything he can to try to frighten the family.
