HTML: Though originally published more than a century ago, Arnold Bennett's novel Leonora is brimming with nuanced insights about the true nature of marriage that still resonate today. The eponymous heroine is the wife of a prominent and wealthy manufacturing titan who enjoys the trappings of his success. But when a figure from his past reappears, Leonora begins to question everything she once believed to be true about her husband and their relationship. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This review is from: Leonora: A Novel (The Collected Works of Arnold Bennett) (Hardcover)
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Set, like most of Bennett's work, in the Five Towns, this is the story of lovely 40-year old Leonora Stanway. Mother to three very different daughters: one studious, one romantic and one planning a future on the stage, she is also wife of the unsympathetic John Stanway.
Their middle class life is settled, although as Leonora sees her daughters bloom, she regrets what her life has become, married to a man who is "perfectly insensible to all spiritual significances."
And then into their lives comes American Mr Twemlow. Son of John Stanway's former business partner, he has come to investigate whether John has swindled his family.
Meanwhile elderly Uncle Meshach has re-written his will...
Not up to the standard of 'The Old Wives' Tale' or 'Riceyman Steps' but an entertaining novel that keeps you reading. (
