024 - XX Maisie Jerrold Anne

In a time when romantic fiction often fell into the trap of clichés, May Sinclairs nuanced and audacious novels shine like gems from a different age. “Anne Severn & the Fieldings” weaves a profound love story set against a backdrop of genuine human experiences and the tragic tides of history. The orphaned Anne Severn finds a home with the Fielding family, forging deep bonds with the three Fielding brothers, each of whom harbors a unique affection for her. As the horrors of World War I intrude on their lives, the brothers return home forever altered, while Anne serves bravely as an ambulance driver, encountering a whimsical figure—“a queer little middle-aged lady out for a job at the front”—who is none other than Sinclair herself, reflecting her own adventures from 1914. Balancing Victorian sensibilities with modern insights, Sinclair employs exquisite, dreamlike prose to challenge societal norms. Most striking is the bold exploration of sexuality that enriches her characters lives, complicating relationships and illuminating what true love can be. Through Anne Severn, Sinclair crafts a heroine of remarkable courage and depth, capturing our hearts far beyond the confines of propriety.
