Description
Winter by Christopher Nicholson In the winter of 1924, Thomas Hardy's life was marked by contrasts. His celebrated writing career had brought him fame and wealth, but it also condemned him to living lives he could not hope to lead. As he approached his 85th birthday, a new chapter in his personal life began. A local actress, Gertrude Bugler, had caught the attention of Hardy's second wife, Florence. The young woman was playing Tess in a dramatic adaptation of Hardy's most famous novel, and her presence sparked a complex web of emotions. Meanwhile, Florence found herself struggling to come to terms with the changing dynamics of their household. This poignant portrait of an old man and his imaginative life offers a nuanced exploration of the women who surround him: the middle-aged woman who had once hoped for happiness as his handmaiden, and the young actress with her youthful ambitions and desires.
