Excerpt from Ray of Light
The shades of evening are falling on the pretty little village of Wetherley, gradually enveloping in a soft, shadowy mist the distant landscape, and causing the old ivy-crowned church-tower to look larger and darker in the fading light, and the forge-fire to seem brighter and blaze higher; and so stealthfly the light fades, that one can scarcely see how every moment steals a ray away and leads the darkness on.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This literary work explores the Victorian experiences of Millicent Ray - a woman whose life of servitude and responsibility has granted her a wisdom and maturity beyond her years. Despite her impressive qualities, Millicent has been forced to work ceaselessly just to survive - a situation reflective of Victorian social norms for women. However, Millicent remains hopeful and kind, displaying a resilience that is tested when she is forced to make a difficult decision: she must choose between doing what is right, and maintaining the comfort of her aging parents. The author explores the tension between duty, desire and familial responsibility in this novel set in the idyllic English countryside. Ultimately, this book shares insights into the quiet strength of Victorian women, and the ways in which they resisted and navigated the constraints imposed on them during this era.
