About this book

In the late 19th century, societal expectations for young women were rigid, often dictating their futures. "A Fluttered Dovecote" by George Manville Fenn explores this tension through the eyes of Laura Bozerne, a spirited young woman grappling with her impending departure to a finishing school. As she navigates her fears and resentments, the novel delves into themes of personal autonomy and societal pressure. With vivid characterizations and a poignant narrative, Fenn captures the essence of a woman's struggle for identity amidst external expectations. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling tale invites readers to reflect on the evolution of women's roles in society while highlighting the importance of self-determination.
