Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book gives rare insights into the daily life, routines, and customs prevalent in an upper-class gentry household in Victorian England. The author uses Lady Pollexfen, the stern and composed mistress of Dupley Walls, as a detailed case study to explore the depth of contrasting character traits a single human being can possess. The narrative introduces a heartwarming tale of budding romance between Janet and Captain George, bringing to light the author's sharp eye for the nuances of the human heart. However, more than romance, this book takes the reader into the depths of morbid fascination and hidden fears that haunt the everyday lives of common people. This book, though rooted in the 19th century, serves as a mirror reflecting our own hidden fears, secret desires, and the deep longings that make us human.
