Virginia

Book cover
By: (1873-1945)

In Ellen Glasgow's novel, Virginia, readers are transported to the post-Civil War South, where they follow the journey of the protagonist, Virginia. As she struggles to break free from the constraints of her society and forge her own identity, Virginia's story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and ultimately, empowerment.

Glasgow's vivid descriptions and rich character development bring the era and its complexities to life, painting a detailed portrait of the Southern landscape and its inhabitants. The themes of tradition, gender roles, and the clash between old and new ways of thinking are expertly woven throughout the narrative, adding depth and nuance to the story.

While the pacing of the novel may be slow at times, Glasgow's lyrical prose and insightful exploration of Virginia's inner thoughts and struggles keep readers engaged and invested in her journey. Overall, Virginia is a poignant and thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by women in the South during a time of great social upheaval.

Book Description:
Virginia does everything right: she attends a finishing school, marries the first man who proposes, and devotes her life to her husband and children. But what happens when each one of them has a life outside the home in which she has no room? - Summary by Stav Nisser.
