Brief Synopsis of the Novel

Sep 25, 2005 07:55

Someone asked for more info about the novel. Here's a synopsis that I wrote for a grant application recently, which I'm afraid is long on plot but short on thematics. The plot points feel clumsy as written here, but hopefully they'll be more gracefully rendered in the actual work. Anyway....

I have read this synopsis before and, as then, I feel this could be a wonderful book - good luck with the grant :)

thanks. i've really enjoyed your writing too. and to think it's not even your native language. :)

yeah, this one definitely borrows from those gals of the 19th century.... charlotte and jane specifically, so it can't end in anything but happiness. i like sad endings too, or weird endings.... iris murdoch and j.m. coetzee are personal favorites, and i'm listening to the audiobook for ian mcewan's _atonement_ right now. so i seem to like all kinds of endings....
