Excerpt from Reseda, Vol. 1 of 3
From the time when she was a. Wee toddling babe of three, and he a tall stripling of twelve, these two had been fast friends. He had often given up a. Game of cricket, or some other boyish delight, to play with the little motherless girl, who seemed so lonely, and who told him, in childishly lisping accents, that she was so dull when he was at school. It would have seemed as if his sister Clare would have been a. More suitable companion for her, but Clare was five years older than Mignonette, and looked down with the contempt of superior ageand wisdom on all games and amusements suited to such a baby so, excepting during Edgar's holidays, the little girl at the manor had little companionship, and rarely saw any one save her nurse and governess.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
