Margery (gred): A Tale of Old Nuremberg — Volume 01
1898
In medieval Nuremberg, a girl named Margery Schopper learns that family is not always blood. Orphaned young, she finds refuge with her cousin Maud, a woman of means and standing in the city. But what Margery truly seeks is the maternal warmth she has never known, a longing that shapes every interaction, every reflection in this delicate portrait of a young life forming against the backdrop of 15th-century German life. Georg Ebers, renowned for his meticulous historical research, constructs a world where guild politics and merchant wealth frame intimate domestic dramas. Margery's childhood unfolds among brothers and cousins, her happiness real but shadowed by absence. This first volume traces her education, her friendships, and the slow awakening to the social tensions that will define her adult life. For readers who savor the granular recreation of the past, who understand that the smallest domestic moments can carry the weight of history, this is a novel about the formation of a self.
