F. M. Mayor

    F. M. Mayor se proslavila jako anglická prozaička a autorka povídek, přičemž její nejznámější dílo je "The Rector's Daughter". Její tvorba se často zabývá tématy, která rezonují s duchovním světem, což dokládá její záliba v psaní hororových příběhů, které obdivoval i M. R. James. Mayorin styl, často popisovaný jako pronikavý a s citem pro psychologii postav, odráží její hluboké porozumění lidské povaze. Její prozaické schopnosti se plně projevily v psychologické hloubce jejích postav a v mistrném budování napětí.

    • Dedmayne Rectory is quietly decaying, its striped chintz and darkened rooms a bastion of outmoded Victorian values. Here Mary has spent 35 years devoting herself to her sister, now dead, and to her father, Canon Jocelyn. Although she is pitied by her neighbors for this muted existence, Mary is content. But when she meets Robert Herbert, Mary's ease is destroyed and years of suppressed emotion surface through her desire for him. First published in 1924, this novel is a rich exploration of Mary's relationship with her father, of her need for Robert, and the way in which, through each, she comes to a clearer understanding of love.
