Inhalt:

In the heart of Victorian England, Arnold Bennett's masterpiece, The Old Wives' Tale, weaves the captivating stories of the Baines sisters, Constance and Sophia. Born into the modest comfort of a draper's family in the provincial town of Bursley, their paths diverge wildly as they navigate through love, loss, ambition, and the relentless march of time. Constance, the steadfast elder, embraces the predictable rhythms of life within the bounds of their family shop, finding contentment in domesticity and familiar surroundings. Sophia, the spirited younger sister, breaks free from the constraints of provincial life, embarking on a thrilling, tumultuous journey that takes her far from home. Their tales crisscross the changing landscape of the nineteenth century, revealing the profound impacts of time and choice upon individual destinies. Arnold Bennett masterfully chronicles the ordinary and extraordinary events that shape the sisters' lives, offering a poignant, detailed portrait of Victorian England. The Old Wives' Tale is not just the story of Constance and Sophia; it is a powerful, timeless exploration of human nature, family bonds, and the surprising resilience of the female spirit.
