Excerpt from Folly

She caught the posy and glanced down upon him calmly and critically. She might well have been think ing that, burly and ruddy as he was, he made no bad figure of a country squire; but he grew uncomfortably aware that he was hot and mud-splashed and entirely out of harmony with her daintiness. She tossed back his flowers with the comment: They don't match my gown - see? In silence he returned the despised blossoms to his buttonhole, as she asked indifferently: Roads bad?

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a rich tapestry of love, art, and mortality, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century English society. The author deftly delves into the complexities of human connection through the characters of Folly, a beautiful and enigmatic young woman, and Haldane, a poet wrestling with his own demons. The story unfolds in the idyllic countryside of Surrey, where the grandeur of nature provides a stark contrast to the emotional turmoil brewing within the characters' hearts. As Folly navigates the traditional expectations of marriage and motherhood, she discovers a hidden strength within herself. The themes of love, loss, and the quest for meaning are delicately interwoven, exploring the human capacity for both joy and despair. This book is a timeless meditation on the complexities of human nature, capturing the essence of desire, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity.
