A Lady of Quality

Viac o knihe

Set in the early Eighteenth Century, the novel features Clorinda Wildairs, a strong-willed heroine who kills Sir John Oxon with a riding whip. Known for her sharp wit and unyielding determination, Clorinda defies societal expectations of women, embodying the theme of resilience and the human spirit's invincibility. This work marks a departure from Frances Hodgson Burnett's previous children's literature, exploring deeper themes of courage, experience, and the rejection of submission in the face of adversity.
