Description

Harriet Hume is a beautifully imagined love story that explores the power of beauty and love over ambition. Set in a dilapidated Kensington House, this novel follows Harriet, a musical and mystical young woman, as she falls deeply in love with Arnold Condorex. Their love is a complex one, as Condorex pursues his own ambitions while Harriet possesses powers that are both beautiful and otherworldly. As their relationship unfolds, it becomes clear that Harriet must confront the darker aspects of her lover's nature in order to save him from himself. Rebecca West's writing style is as elegant as the London she portrays, bringing together wisdom, imagination, and wit in a triumphantly written novel that celebrates the enduring power of love.
