Alexi Kaye Campbell: Bird Grove, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"An engrossing and serious study of a young woman loved and wronged repeatedly; a victim of her age, her sex and her voracious curiosity." --The Spy in the Stalls

1841. Mary Ann Evans is of marriageable age. Her father has recently moved with her to Bird Grove House, with the sole purpose of finding her a suitable husband. But Mary Ann's remarkable intellect and growing self-confidence are forming progressive new ideas in her mind; ideas that challenge her father's most strongly held beliefs. If she is to become the writer she has always dreamt of being, Mary Ann will have to break every societal convention expected of her.

A funny and poignant exploration of family ties and self-determination, Alexi Kaye Campbell's play Bird Grove tells the untold story of the woman who was to become one of England's greatest writers: George Eliot.
