Excerpt from Wilt Thou Have This Woman?
Trees in the woods waited for the axe to be laid to them again; the last remainder of wheat waited to be cut, and the stubble fields waited to be ploughed.

Excerpt from Wilt Thou Have This Woman?
It was September, and all the pleasant southern land lay smiling in the early sun, like a healthy child when first it wakes and waits for its mother's morning care. The charm of sunshine and silence, dream and departing slumber, breathed from the varied landscape. The chanticleers of the farmyards had some hour since sounded their long-drawn reveilles; the birds in the scattered scented firwoods and in the bunched trees of the park had ceased from the joyful burst of song with which they are wont to greet the first hint of dawn; and all created things now hung in patient expectation of the appearance of their master, man - man who "goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening," who daily resumes his burden of toil and care, thought and speculation, of poverty and riches.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a rare voyage into the lives of the upper-class English landed gentry at the turn of the 20th century. It follows the fortunes of the Pierrepont family, as they settle into a new existence brought on by the dwindling economy of agricultural England and the changing landscape of the countryside. The book provides fascinating insights into the characters from all walks of life, from the grand, yet well-meaning Squire and his nephew Philip, to the torn and tortured farmer who cannot let go of his past life at any cost. These characters, their lives and their struggles, are set to a backdrop of a rapidly modernizing England. The author presents a story of deep cultural transition, a time of confusion and flux as the old ways of life are forced to collide with new ones, and the bonds of the traditional English countryside begin to fray. Through the character's joys and sorrows, the author presents a thought-provoking exploration of our interconnectedness, and the strength, and fragilities, of the human spirit.
