Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a rare voyage into the lives of the upper-class English landed gentry at the turn of the 20th century. It follows the fortunes of the Pierrepont family, as they settle into a new existence brought on by the dwindling economy of agricultural England and the changing landscape of the countryside. The book provides fascinating insights into the characters from all walks of life, from the grand, yet well-meaning Squire and his nephew Philip, to the torn and tortured farmer who cannot let go of his past life at any cost. These characters, their lives and their struggles, are set to a backdrop of a rapidly modernizing England. The author presents a story of deep cultural transition, a time of confusion and flux as the old ways of life are forced to collide with new ones, and the bonds of the traditional English countryside begin to fray. Through the character's joys and sorrows, the author presents a thought-provoking exploration of our interconnectedness, and the strength, and fragilities, of the human spirit.
