À propos de ce contenu audio

 Muslin, also known as A Drama In Muslin, is a poignant and realistic novel by George Moore that delves into the lives of five Irish girls navigating the tumultuous waters of adulthood after graduating from convent school. At the heart of the story is Alice Barton, a young woman who feels stifled by the societal expectations placed upon her and yearns for self-discovery, yet finds her path obstructed by the constraints of her gender. Her younger sister, Olive, though less popular in school, thrives in the real world, highlighting the stark contrast and rivalry between the two sisters. But this narrative extends beyond their personal struggles, capturing the early stirrings of conflict between landlords and peasants in Ireland, the pervasive poverty, and much more. Upon its release, the book faced condemnation and was banned by major British libraries due to its perceived immorality. Yet, as the public began to embrace realism, it gained immense popularity and has remained in print ever since. - Summary by Stav Nisser.Copyright Nature and Animals Art
