Against the Stream, the Story of an Heroic Age in England, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book is a beautiful memoir from the author of her life in the Victorian era, starting from her earliest memories as a young girl in a provincial town in England. She remembers feeling quite lost after her mother's death when she was very young, and not connecting with her stepmother. She was very close to her brother Piers, and they relied on each other. The author especially remembers the Victorian preoccupation with clothing, as a marker of status and behavior for both children and adults. Her stepmother's rigidity particularly emphasized these rules around clothing. Having left home, she goes on to discuss her religious journey and the importance of a loving God and a compassionate way of living one's life. Her insights on the power of love, its transformative nature are sure to be of interest to readers today, who still face many of the same struggles with meaning, morality, and faith.
