Description

A striking exploration of sex and violence, Vera is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships. When Lucy Entwhistle's father passes away, she finds herself alone in the world at just twenty-two years old. Her life is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mr Wemyss, who appears at her garden gate. As Lucy navigates this new reality, she must confront the harsh realities of adulthood and the consequences of her own desires. With unflinching honesty, Elizabeth von Arnim examines the darker aspects of human nature, creating a deeply unsettling yet thought-provoking reading experience. With its raw emotion and unapologetic candour, Vera is a powerful portrayal of young womanhood in the early 20th century.
