Product Description
"There was a long mirror in the room, and she went to it. Stood in front of it. And very slowly she saw her soul emerge out of the flesh. Smiling; more so. A truer edition of herself. A light, intensely delicate thing."
First published in 1931, this beautiful, atmospheric novel, like Antonia White's Frost in May quartet, charts the emotional and intellectual growth of a young girl. Louise, intense and solitary, lives in a dreamland of her own until the arrival of her gifted cousin Timothy. He brings to her companionship, music, and 'the long booked-for stimulation of the mind'. But Tim and Louie are parted when she is sent to convent school, a closed world of prayer and order, and of lasting, passionate friendships. Then comes the shattering advent of the First World War. On leaving school Louis determines to train for business, to 'start life as a stern realist', but finds instead that she will need emotional courage if she is to be the woman her soul demands.
