Klappentext
Illustrated Edition: Contains illustrations, summary, author biography, and a characters list.Sylvia's Lovers is a historical novel set during the Napoleonic Wars in the late 18th century. The story takes place in the coastal town of Whitby and follows the life of Sylvia Robson, a young woman caught in a love triangle between two very different men: her devoted cousin, Philip Hepburn, and the dashing whaler, Charley Kinraid. Gaskell masterfully weaves a tale of passion, loyalty, and betrayal, all set against the backdrop of political turmoil and the harsh realities of war.
As Sylvia faces heart-wrenching choices, Gaskell explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the impact of external forces on personal relationships. Known for her deep character development and attention to social issues, Gaskell paints a vivid picture of the time, making Sylvia's Lovers a captivating exploration of human emotions and historical circumstances.
This novel, often considered one of Gaskell's more dramatic works, showcases her ability to blend romance with critical social commentary, making it a must-read for fans of historical fiction.
