Rose Deeprose

Sheila Kaye-Smith

4.9/5 (22744 ratings)

Description:Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith has forsaken Sussex, and the scene of her latest novel is buried deep among the wooded hills of Kent. The story is divided into three parts, Daughter, Wife and Mother. It opens with a sympathetic unfolding of the relations between the sixteen-year-old Rose Deeprose, of Harlakenden Farm, and her mother. From the quiet beginning in a teashop in a little country town the reader is led out upon the stormy trail of tragedy. Rose is the unwitting instrument of her mother's death, and the rest of the novel deals with her courageous combat against a persistently adverse fate. She meets disaster on every count—in her marriage with her cousin Townley, of Bladbean Farm ; in her friendship with Christian Lambert, the town-bred beauty and light-o '-love ; in motherhood (her only child, whom she passionately longed for and devotedly loved, turns out to be mentally deficient) ; in her attempted suicide.A solution to Rose's problems and an earnest of a happier future is foreshadowed at the end of the book. Townley shoots himself, and we leave Rose, as we found her, at Harlakenden. She is at peace, and the reader realizes with a slight sense of shock that, at the end of some four hundred crowded pages, the heroine is only twenty-five years old, and her life is all before her. . . .Miss Kaye-Smith is a master of the English language, and the book abounds in happy phrases and in descriptions which are as leisured and lovely as the country they depict. Of the psychological interest, the contrast between Rose of yeoman stock and Christian Lambert, superficial product of the intelligentsia, is particularly well done.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
