Set during the Napoleonic wars at a time of national economic struggles, Shirley is an unsentimental yet passionate depiction of conflict among classes, sexes, and generations. Struggling manufacturer Robert Moore considers marriage to the wealthy and independent Shirley Keeldar, yet his heart lies with his cousin Caroline. Shirley, meanwhile, is in love with Robert’s brother, an impoverished tutor. As industrial unrest builds to a potentially fatal pitch, can the four be reconciled?

As I am just not getting around to reading it - due to lot of study reading, I'm only up for light reading at the moment - this book will now (finally!) travel to Bloedengel for the tag-game in the Dutch forum. As it is an all time classic, I am sure another copy of this book will cross my path at a moment it is more fitting to my reading needs. Bloedengel, enjoy :-)

Perhapse I can toss it right back after reading it ?
As mount to be read has never been higher, I'm almost ashamed of acquiring new books.
I have been very good of sending lots 'n lots of 'm outdoors lately, though...
But for the 1001-list of all-time classics ...I'm too big a sucker to let 'm pass :)
I don't mean to scare you, but of all Bröntebooks being wide-spread and multicopy around, Shirley is rather rare ...
However, I'm sure the Shirley-godess of good fate will send you one when in dire nead of proper reading material.
Blessed be :)

Dankjewel om dit boek mijn richting te laten uitkomen Bloedengel! Binnenkort mag dit boek gaan verderreizen.

Het is tijd om verder te reizen. Laat je nog iets van je horen?
