Présentation de l'éditeur
There really should have been lines of sodden paper lanterns swinging in the wet wind, Evelyn thought. How they crowded in all of old New York had turned out to pay the last honors to Cousin Sue. It was like a roll-call of the tribes: Bleecks and Schermers and Jays and Stuyvers, all facing the long train journey back to town or the cross-country motor ride, in the dreary drizzle. The rector adjusted his stole and pitched his sonorous, rich voice. Man, that is born of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. A little sympathetic shiver ran through the quiet, crowded space under the striped tent. The ageless beauty of that perfect phrasing, austere as the Greek urns on the lichened marbles that would soon guard Susan Bleeck searthly shell, stirred an echo of eternity in every heart.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the story of Evelyn Jaffray, a young woman who has spent eight years of her life as a companion to her wealthy and demanding cousin, Susan Bleeck. As the story opens, Susan has passed away and Evelyn finds herself facing a stark reality: her future is uncertain and she has been left with only a modest inheritance. The author skillfully navigates the complex social dynamics of early 20th century New York, where wealth and lineage determine oneââ â¢s place in society. Evelyn is caught in a web of intricate family relationships, where she is expected to conform to the expectations of her upper-class upbringing. The narrative delves into themes of social mobility, the limitations of a life constrained by societal norms, and the complexities of familial obligations. The book explores the power dynamics at play when money, influence, and lineage intersect with personal aspirations and dreams. Evelyn, faced with the prospect of a life dictated by the whims of others, decides to take a bold step towards independence, embracing a reckless streak of freedom that she has never before experienced. Ultimately, the book offers a compelling look at the struggles of a young woman navigating the constraints of her social standing and ultimately finding her own path.
