Omschrijving

Josselyn's Wife is a novel written by Kathleen Norris, first published in 1914. The book tells the story of a young woman named Mary Josselyn, who marries the wealthy and ambitious businessman, Stephen Josselyn. Mary is a simple and unassuming woman who is content with her life until her husband begins to prioritize his career over their marriage. Stephen becomes obsessed with making money and gaining power, and he neglects Mary and their children in the process. As the years go by, Mary becomes increasingly unhappy and isolated. She longs for the love and attention of her husband, but he is too consumed with his work to notice her. Mary tries to find solace in religion and charity work, but it only serves to highlight the emptiness of her life. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, and the pursuit of wealth and power. It also highlights the challenges faced by women in the early 20th century, particularly those who were expected to prioritize their roles as wives and mothers above all else. Overall, Josselyn's Wife is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the early 1900s. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
