In this dark work, perhaps the finest Irish novel of the nineteenth century, two mismatched cousins fight it out over love and fortune. Love comes easily to beautiful Francie. She weds the man loved by the ungainly, practical Charlotte—who then sets out to ruin her cousin’s marriage.
เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Edith Somerville (1858–1949) was born on the island of Corfu, but grew up in the Irish countryside, which inspired her writing. She and her cousin, Ross, wrote novels, short stories, travel essays, and memoirs together. After Ross’s death, Somerville published three more novels, all with Ross’s name on them alongside hers.
Violet Florence Martin (1862–1915) published with her cousin under the pen name of Somerville and Ross. They were lifelong companions and literary partners, writing the popular “R. M.” stories, comprising Some Experiences of an Irish R. M. and Further Experiences of an Irish R. M., as well as other works.
