Life at Jalna is as peaceful as usual until the Sinclairs come to visit. They arrive with the polished manners and soft accents of Old Carolina and quickly appeal to Adelines sense of hospitality.

It is followed by Mary Wakefield.

Recenzii

“Roche's use of metaphor would be helpful to students to understand how language and environment can be used to mirror both characters' lives and story developments.”
