| George Gissing's classic novel "In the Year of Jubilee" centers on the lives of two sisters, Nancy and Jessica Lord, and vividly depicts late 19th-century English society. The novel, which takes place in the made-up town of Polchester, examines the sharp differences in the lives of the two sisters. The older sister, Nancy, is married to wealthy businessman Samuel Barmby and lives a traditional life. Nancy is comfortable in monetary terms, but she yearns for something more significant and feels stuck in a loveless marriage. As the story progresses, Nancy and Jessica's lives unexpectedly cross paths, resulting in tense times as well as moments of self-discovery and reconciliation. The book provides a complex picture of Victorian England by delving into themes of class, gender, family, and social change via their experiences. "In the Year of Jubilee" explores the intricacies of interpersonal relationships and the pursuit of personal fulfilment in an insightful and poignant story. Readers are still enthralled and provoked to debate by George Gissing's perceptive observations on the social and cultural dynamics of his day. |
