The Reflections of Ambrosine

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the life of a snobby yet impoverished young woman, the narrative explores her marriage to a middle-aged, unrefined man. The protagonist, the youngest daughter of a civil engineer, navigates societal expectations and personal desires in a world shaped by class and ambition. Elinor Glyn, a trailblazer in romantic and risqué fiction, offers a glimpse into the complexities of love and attraction, themes she would continue to develop in her later works. This edition includes a new introductory biography, providing context to Glyn's influential career.
