Század Kiadó KULT könyvek sorozata elképesztően szép designt kapott. Ez a borító különösen jól mutat, ráadásul több szempontból is telitalálatnak bizonyult a tartalom tükrében. Tehát nem a cselekményért, nem a nagy csavarokért érdemes elolvasni ezt a könyvet, hanem a karakterek saját történetei miatt. Kikapcsoló olvasmány volt, örülök, hogy a polcomat díszíti egy újabb Stacey Halls kötet. :) as évek 20. század Anglia angol szerző anyaság apaság brit szerző család énelbeszélő gótikus irodalom kortárs magyar nyelvű női főszereplő pszichés betegség regény rejtély testvérek történelmi fikció utazás Simmering with slow-burning menace, Mrs England is a portrait of an Edwardian marriage, weaving an enthralling story of men and women, power and control, courage, truth and the very darkest deception.

Have you ever been so disappointed by a book that you didn’t even want to write the review, because you really did not want to think of it any longer? atmosfera. Aici cred că este cel mai mare plus al romanului. Setting-ul & vibe-ul sunt palpabile, introduc cititorul în lumea dinăuntrul copertelor. Descrierile sunt foarte vizuale. I have already read Halls’ account of the Pendle witches and she writes historical fiction from a female perspective. This is an undemanding novel, set I would guess in the early 1900s. It is a bit gothic and is a bit of a slow burner. The main character Ruby May is a Norland Institute nurse/nanny. After her first family emigrated she is sent to Yorkshire to the family of Mr Charles England and his wife Lilian and their four children. Each of the main characters has secrets which gradually unravel over the course of the novel. Halls also provides a pretty good description of how coercive control works. The setting is in the Hardcastle crags area of Yorkshire and there is a bleakness to it which is quite pleasing.

Az a durva, hogy a címadó Mrs. England titkánál engem sokkal jobban meglepett Ruby titka. Az előbbinél szerintem a történet vége felé nagyjából sejteni lehetett, hogy merről fúj a szél, de még így is meglepett. Ruby esetében viszont teljesen váratlanul éri az olvasót. At the start Nurse May finds it hard fitting in within the servants hierarchy, feeling cut off and very much on her own. She also feels very uncomfortable with the master, Mr England, when he treats her on almost friendly equal terms. Mrs England, starts as an unwelcoming, distant and unloving character even to her own children. Not wanting to spoil for people who haven’t read the book. You will want to follow her story. Spoilers: There would have been a great storyline had Nurse May actually fallen deeper for Mr Booth, who had just married and was expecting a child with another woman, which at one point I was sure that’s where it was heading, that unfortunately ended abruptly. A zárkózott és visszahúzódó Lilian csekély érdeklődést mutat gyermekei és elragadó férje iránt, és távolról sem az „a ház angyala”, akinek Ruby gondolta. Bár a barátságos, élénk Charles örömmel fogadja a dadát a családban, Rubyt egy sor különös esemény arra kényszeríti, hogy kérdőjelezzen meg mindent, amit addig tudni vélt. A cselédek által kiközösített, és magát egyre kényelmetlenebbül érző dadának szembe kell néznie a démonaival, megelőzendő, hogy a történelem megismételje magát.

Mrs England — The Portico Library

It would seem that Mrs. England is mentally unwell, and her husband is a bit overly familiar with Ruby on occasion, which puts her at odds with the staff. Slowly, Ruby begins to fall under Charles’ spell, relishing the extra attention he gives her- but Mrs. England may not be as aloof as she seems… Mrs England by Stacey Halls is one of my most highly anticipated releases for 2021 and I was thrilled when it delivered on all of my hopes and expectations. From the stunning cover design, the enticing premise, the Edwardian era setting and location at Hardcastle House in West Yorkshire, Mrs England is everything I love in historical fiction. Lassan csordogáló történet, amihez apránként kapunk információt May dadus gyerekkoráról, családjáról. Ugyan akkor, így válik világossá miért olyan Mrs. England, mint amilyen. Mire a könyv végére érünk minden kiderül. De az olvasó képzeletére van bízva, kinek milyen irányba fordul az élete. Az igazgatónőm azt szokta mondani, hogy az az anyag, amellyel a dadák dolgoznak, értékesebb a vászonnál, pompásabb a márványnál, és a világ számára értékesebb mindkettőnél. Arról szól, hogy embereket derék emberi lényekké formálunk.At the end of the book Mrs England passed Nurse May a letter from her sister that is 3 days old. What is the meaning behind this? Had she hidden the letters after all? Secrets: We get the sense early in the story that there are many dark secrets. These secrets drive the story as we wonder whom we can trust and where the real danger lies.
