Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Anderby Wold" by Winifred Holtby is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Robson family, particularly focusing on Mary Robson, who has recently married John and inherited the family farm at Anderby Wold. The narrative delves into themes of social dynamics, gender roles, and familial relationships as Mary navigates her responsibilities and challenges, striving to uphold her family's legacy amidst societal expectations. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Sarah Bannister as she and her husband drive to a tea-party at Anderby Wold to celebrate the clearance of the mortgage on the family farm. The opening scenes illustrate the tension between Sarah and her sister-in-law Mary, revealing Sarah's disdain for the modernity Mary embodies and her attempts to assert her own importance and superiority. The narrative captures the intricate social interactions and domestic dynamics that underscore the relationships among various family members, painting a vivid picture of life in a rural English community during that time. As Sarah grapples with her jealousy and discontent about Mary's marriage and position, the stage is set for a deeper exploration of individual aspirations and societal pressures.
