Miss Meredith

Set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century London, the novel follows Elsie Meredith, who grapples with her mother's struggles and her own identity as a middle child. As she faces the fear of repeating her mother's hardships, she seeks independence by taking a position as a governess in Italy. Through Elsie's journey, the story explores themes of feminism, familial duty, and the quest for self-definition, all while reflecting the realities of Jewish life during that era. This poignant tale captures the essence of the New Woman movement.
