Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins in 1869, and introduces Mignonette, a young orphan girl, who lives in isolation at her childhood home, Wychwood Manor, cared for by a governess who leaves as the story begins. The author follows Mignonette over three weeks, getting to know some of the people in her life, including Edgar Barford, a family friend who comes home from school for his holidays. The story explores the themes of loneliness, isolation, and the changing role of women in society. The author discusses the grief of losing loved ones, and the ways people can find happiness again after tragedy. It also looks at the ways in which women's lives were circumscribed during this period, and the ways in which those constraints could be resisted. The author shows the reader how Mignonette finds friendship with Edgar, who helps her discover her passion for nature and the outdoors. The work also explores the themes of childhood and innocence, contrasting Mignonette's carefree life in nature with the more formal existence imposed by her governess. The author's sharp prose makes this book a pleasure to read, and the story will stay with you long after you've finished it.
