Author Sinclair, May, 1863-1946
Title Anne Severn and the Fieldings
Credits Produced by Suzanne Shell, Terry Gilliland and PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "Anne Severn and the Fieldings" by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to the life of Anne Severn, who returns to the Fielding household after the death of her mother, navigating her grief while forming bonds with the Fielding family, especially her childhood friend, Jerrold. The narrative intricately explores themes of memory, loss, and the complex dynamics of childhood relationships as Anne grapples with her new reality and the comforting but challenging presence of her father's new family. At the start of the novel, Anne Severn arrives at the Fieldings' estate, fresh from her mother’s funeral. Through her perspective, we witness her longing for connection, notably with Jerrold Fielding, as a thread of childhood innocence is woven into her adult understanding of grief. The opening chapters depict Anne's memories of happier times intertwined with her present sadness. While Anne desires to play with Jerrold, she is held back by social expectations of mourning, creating a profound sense of isolation. As the story unfolds, we see Anne’s struggles with her identity and acceptance of her mother’s absence while being surrounded by a family dynamic that includes Jerrold, Colin, and their parents. The opening section sets a poignant tone, establishing Anne’s emotional landscape and the connections with those around her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
