Holtby Winifred Orden de los libros (cronológico)
Winifred Holtby fue una socialista y feminista comprometida que elaboró su novela clásica como una crítica social cálida pero incisiva de la acomodada comunidad agrícola en la que nació. Su escritura profundiza en las intrincadas relaciones y las inequidades sociales que observó, empleando una mirada aguda y un corazón compasivo. Holtby se centró en el impacto de las estructuras sociales en la vida de los individuos, exponiendo a menudo las motivaciones ocultas y las pretensiones de los que estaban en el poder. Sus obras siguen siendo relevantes por su análisis inquebrantable de las distinciones de clase y su defensa de la justicia social.

Joanna Burton was born in South Africa but sent by her missionary father to be raised in Yorkshire. There she dreams of the far-off lands she will visit and adventures to come. At eighteen, tall and flaxen-haired, she meets Teddy Leigh, a young man on his way to the trenches of the First World War. Joanna has been in love before - with Sir Walter Raleigh, with the Scarlet Pimpernel, with Coriolanus - but this is different. Teddy tells her he's been given the world to wear as a golden ball. Joanna believes him and marries him, but the fabled shores recede into the distance when, after the war, Teddy returns in ill health. The magic land turns out to be the harsh reality of motherhood and life on a Yorkshire farm. Yet still she dares to dream.
