Joanna Bannerman, capricious, selfish and warm-hearted, passionately seeks life and 'loveliness'. Certainly the bustling streets of Glasgow at the turn of the century promise much greater excitement than the solid evangelical background she has known hitherto. Her studies in the School of Art open up new horizons - of independence and love - and Joanna reaches for them all. First published in 1920, this novel powerfully evokes the image of a young woman ensnared yet ultimately released by her capacity for emotion. It contains a strong autobiographical element and is also a powerful evocation of the life and industry of the Second City of the Empire. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There were many trite descriptions and passages in the book and too many staged coincidences but for all that I'm not sorry I read it as I believe that it was a fairly accurate autobiographical account of Carswell's own life and she certainly lived an adventurous and unconventional life for a woman whose work was published in 1920. Hats off to her! ( )
