A gripping tale of secrets, strength, and self-discovery-Anne Douglas Sedgwick's Dark Hester is a forgotten classic that deserves a new generation of readers. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian England, this powerful classic British novel follows Hester, a strong and complex heroine whose story unfolds in a world shadowed by family secrets, social expectations, and the search for independence. Sedgwick, one of the most respected early 20th century women writers, weaves a tale that is equal parts psychological drama, gothic romance, and women's fiction, capturing the struggles and triumphs of a woman determined to claim her own identity. With echoes of literary fiction classics such as the Brontes and George Eliot, Dark Hester blends mystery, romance, and drama in a narrative that explores love, betrayal, and the courage to defy convention.
