Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mother: A Story - Kathleen Norris's beloved first novel, a warm celebration of mother-love, in a new Northlume Library edition.Margaret Paget is one of a large, crowded, hard-pressed family, and she longs to be free of it - for the wider world, fine things, and a life that looks like more. When she leaves home to become secretary to the wealthy Mrs. Carr-Boldt she seems to have won exactly that; but a season among the rich shows her what such a life can cost, and teaches her to see at last the quiet, inexhaustible devotion at the heart of her own home - and the mother who gives it.First published in 1911, Mother made Kathleen Norris's name and became one of the best-loved American novels of its day: an unabashed, tender hymn to family, sacrifice, and the ordinary heroism of motherhood.This Northlume Library edition presents the complete 1911 text, freshly typeset in EB Garamond and Marcellus, with a cover painting by JVB Atelier Designs.
