A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This book is a richly imaginative exploration of loss, family, and the transformative power of friendship. Beginning with the intertwined fates of two families in 19th-century Europe, the narrative follows young Ivor Glenaveril after he is orphaned and goes to live with his widowed aunt. There, he forms an unusual yet enduring friendship with Emanuel, another orphan living with Ivor's aunt under tragic circumstances. The novel traces the evolution of their friendship, the influence of their enigmatic guardian, and the ways in which their lives are connected to a dark family secret that threatens to destroy them. The author explores themes of fate, class, and the redemptive potential of love, revealing the complexity of human relationships and the enduring power of hope amidst adversity.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Born on tho day when Lord Glonaveril died Was Lord. Glenaveril; and the sires last sigh, Breathing a premature farewell, replied To the sons first petitionary cry. On that dim tract which doth two worlds divide And yet unite, they passed each other by As strangers, tho each bore the selfisame name; The one departing as the other came. II. Life and Death darkly jostled in the door That opes and shuts upon the days of man; The sire had lived scarce thirty years before The sireless son his orphaned life began. That fragile ark in its small bosom bore A race which else had perished, tho its span Was shorter than a cubits when one bell liang birth and burial, welcome and farewell.
