Format:Paperback
The Misses Mallet is the rather unfortunate title of a novel of great ambition. E.H. Young introduces the readers to a world of faded beauty, one that we recognise, but with which we are no longer familiar. Manners, breed, strict social codes and family history form the universe in which the four Mallet women, Caroline, Sophia, Rose,and Henrietta live. Their world is, to the modern reader, somehow small and uneventful, class-ridden and prejudiced, but its charm and attraction resides, in fact, in its comforts and security, and the mass of time available to the characters to think, reflect and talk about their dreams, past and futures. The descriptions of a fashionable and gentile district in Radstowe, the author's fictional depiction of Clifton, Bristol, provide the backdrop for Rose's and Henrietta's romantic encounters. Those emotional entanglements are given to the readers entirely from a feminine point of view . This is in itself a risky move on E.H. Young's part as a modern novelist, but one that she is not afraid to take and from which her narrative takes strenght. Young can thus empower her feminine characters to be the motors of their own passions, if not of their own circumstances. The Bridge Dividing, the original title of the book, makes justice to the conflicts in the novel and the ambition of its writer.
