Synopsis
Excerpt from The House of Bondage
The local weather-prophets - the cape-coated Mennonites and the bearded Amishmen, who came into the town to market - had said, with choral unanimity, that the spring would be brief and sudden, and the summer parching and intense.
Already, though April had but dawned, the pink arbutus had bloomed and withered, and the pale first violets were peeping, purple and fragrant, among the lush grass of the front yards on Second Street. The annual oriole was a full fortnight ahead of his time in opening his summer-house in the hickory-tree on the Southwarks' lawn; and up in the droning study-room of the high-school, where all the windows were wide to the lazy sunlight, Miss England had begun, this week, to direct the thoughts of her dwindling senior-class toward the subjects of their graduation essays.
Swaying with the easy, languid grace of an unstudied young animal, Mary Denbigh, the morning-session ended, turned from the graveled walk before the school-grounds into the little towns chief thoroughfare.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the harsh realities of life in America's early 20th-century industrial underbelly, focusing on the struggles of young women trapped by societal expectations and limited opportunities. The narrative follows a young protagonist, Mary, as she navigates the challenges of adolescence within a stifling, working-class household. The author's stark portrayal of factory towns and the plight of laborers sheds light on the social issues of the era, including child labor, gender inequality, and the allure of city life for those seeking escape from rural hardship. Through Mary's experiences, the book explores themes of rebellion, disillusionment, and the yearning for freedom. The contrasting settings of the small industrial town and the bustling metropolis highlight the stark disparities in opportunity and lifestyle. The author's unflinching depiction of the dangers faced by young women, particularly those from impoverished backgrounds, serves as a cautionary tale. This book offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of societal structures and the individual's struggle for autonomy during a transformative period in American history. Its insights into the lives of marginalized individuals continue to resonate, underscoring the enduring need for social progress and individual empowerment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
