Meer over het boek

Set in the English countryside, the novel follows the intertwined lives of the affluent De Vere family and the struggling Manners. Central to the story is Charles De Vere, who is in love with his cousin Edith Manners, despite their families' disapproval due to social class differences. As they navigate family scandals and financial woes, their devotion to each other is tested. Richly descriptive of rural life in the late 19th century, the narrative delves into themes of love, class disparity, and familial bonds, offering a poignant glimpse into Victorian society.
