England um 1900: Die Geschichte beginnt mit Audrey, der 16-jährigen Bewohnerin von Wynford Castle. Aber sie wird nicht erben, das Schloss geht an ihre Cousine Evelyn, die sie nie kennengelernt hat. Als Evelyns Mutter stirbt, reist sie aus der "Wildnis Tasmaniens" nach Wynford Castle, nur mit ihrem Dienstmädchen Jasper als Begleitung. Evelyns "wilde" und "ungezähmte" Art bildet den zentralen Konflikt mit dem korrekten und behäbigen englischen Haushalt. Kann Evelyn jemals lernen, sich anzupassen und aufhören, "frech" und "böse" zu sein?Starke, voll entwickelte Charaktere, die nicht nur gut oder nur schlecht sind machen dieses Buch zu einem interessanten Spiegel der englischen Gesellschaft um die Jahrhundertwende.

Irish women have long produced literature of the gothic, uncanny, and supernatural. Bending to Earth draws together twelve such tales. While none of the authors herein were considered primarily writers of fantastical fiction during their lifetimes, they each wandered at some point in their careers into more speculative realms - some only briefly, others for lengthier stays.Names such as Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland will already be familiar to aficionados of the eerie, while Katharine Tynan and Clotilde Graves are sure to gain new admirers. From a ghost story in the Swiss Alps to a premonition of death in the West of Ireland to strange rites in a South Pacific jungle, Bending to Earth showcases a diverse range of imaginative writing which spans the better part of a century.
