Anne Severn and the Fieldings by May Sinclair

wolfsonarchitect's review against another edition

4.0

This is a wonderful, romantic book. Sinclair has sensitive, psychological insights into her characters. The protagonist, Anne starts this book as a child, thrust into a family of three boys when her mother dies. Her relationships with the three brothers matures in interesting ways over the course of the book. The writing is full of beautiful descriptions of people and their passions.

Not at all a useful tome for my thesis, Anne Severn and the Fieldings is still a fascinating and eminently readable novel. Sinclair's writing is wonderful, as are her characters. The only thing which lets this particular tome down is the surprisingly twee ending. Regardless, it is an interesting and historically fascinating novel, which should be read more often than it seems to be.
