Neighbours On The Green

Beschreibung

Neighbours on the Green delves into the lives of a close-knit community, exploring the nuances of social dynamics, relationships, and the quiet tensions that simmer beneath the surface of rural life. It highlights the contrasts between two sisters, each navigating their own emotional landscape, one with confidence and charm, the other more subdued and reserved. As the story unfolds, romantic entanglements begin to emerge, with the arrival of a new figure who disrupts the peaceful balance of Dinglefield Green. The narrative weaves an intricate web of relationships, focusing on how the dynamics between neighbors, both old and new, influence personal connections and the course of emotions. It paints a portrait of how subtle interactions, undercurrents of affection, and the arrival of outsiders can shift the course of everyday life in a seemingly idyllic setting. Through a tender exploration of affection, rivalry, and unspoken tensions, the story explores the complexities of human desires, loyalty, and the unforeseen consequences that come with matters of the heart.

Autor

Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
