Camilla Collett had felt her creativity stifled and her literary ambitions thwarted by society's conventional expectations of what a woman could properly achieve; it was not until she was a widow of 42 that she could finally finish her novel, which she called 'my life's long-suppressed scream'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an intricate study of relationships, the novel creates a bourgeois society reminiscent of Jane Austen, in which marriage is the only respectable career for a woman. Sophie, the youngest of four daughters of a cynical and disappointed mother, struggles against society's precepts and her own conditioning to be allowed to make an independent choice; but all her surroundings can offer her by way of models are disillusioned wives, lonely spinsters or crazy old maids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Collett Camilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909408417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909408418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Norvik Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Collett Camilla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043653808383,"sku":"9781909408418","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b3eeb34-4e6e-45fa-a0fd-6cd64d8b8647.jpg?v=1684968393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/district-governors-daughters-collett-camilla-9781909408418","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
