Vera
1921
Published in 1921, 'Vera' by Elizabeth von Arnim is a novel that explores the complexities of grief and marital dynamics. The story follows Lucy Entwhistle, who, after the death of her father, finds herself in a relationship with Everard Wemyss, a widower haunted by the memory of his first wife, Vera. As Lucy navigates her new marriage, she confronts the unsettling reality of Wemyss's controlling nature and the dark legacy of Vera, leading to a chilling examination of emotional servitude. This work is notable for its unromantic portrayal of marriage and its influence on later literature, including Daphne du Maurier's 'Rebecca.'
