Produktbeschreibung

In 'Missing' by Mrs. Humphry Ward, the reader is taken on a gripping journey through the complexities of duty, love, and honor. The novel is a classic example of Victorian literature, with its elaborate descriptions, nuanced character development, and exploration of social and moral dilemmas. Set against the backdrop of England in the late 19th century, the book offers a thought-provoking commentary on the changing societal norms of the time. Ward's lyrical prose and deep insight into human nature make 'Missing' a timeless piece of literature that continues to captivate readers to this day. The author skillfully weaves together themes of family dynamics, class distinctions, and personal sacrifice, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with readers of all ages. Ward's own experiences as a novelist and social reformer undoubtedly influenced her writing, adding layers of depth and authenticity to the story. I highly recommend 'Missing' to anyone interested in Victorian literature, social commentary, or simply a captivating tale of love and loss.
