Beschreibung
In the collection 'Late and Soon' by E.M. Delafield, readers are treated to a combination of a novel and eight short stories that delve into the complexities of society and personal relationships in England during the early 20th century. Delafield's writing style is marked by a keen observation of human behavior and a sharp wit that adds depth to her characters and their interactions. The novel within the collection offers a deeper exploration of societal norms and individual desires, while the short stories provide glimpses into various aspects of English life at the time. Delafield's work can be seen as a reflection of the growing disillusionment with traditional values and the emerging modernity of the era. The collection is a poignant portrayal of the challenges faced by individuals navigating the societal expectations of their time, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and social commentary.
