Více o knize
Set in 1777 New Hampshire, the story revolves around Mrs. Dudgeon, a stern and unappealing matron who embodies the harshness of Puritan values. As she spends a sleepless night in her farmhouse, her life reflects the oppressive nature of her beliefs and the bitterness stemming from her hard work and lack of fulfillment. Despite her reputation for piety, her interpretation of goodness is deeply flawed, allowing her to wield influence while remaining oblivious to her own moral contradictions. The narrative explores themes of hypocrisy and the complexities of virtue within a rigid societal framework.
