The Bostonians

Meer over het boek

Verena Tarrant captivates audiences with her exceptional speaking skills as she advocates for women's rights in Boston's social underbelly. She attracts the attention of two contrasting figures: Olive Chancellor, a passionate radical destined for tragedy, and Basil Ransom, a Civil War veteran with traditional views on gender roles. The narrative unfolds as Olive and Basil engage in a fierce contest for Verena's heart and allegiance, raising questions about her true calling—whether in public activism or private love.
