About this book

In the early 20th century, societal expectations weighed heavily on individuals, particularly women, as they navigated the complexities of duty and personal sacrifice. "The Green Bough" by E. Temple Thurston intricately explores these themes through the life of Mary Throgmorton, a woman caught between her responsibilities and her desires. Set in the picturesque Devon village of Bridnorth, the novel delves into the nuances of love and obligation, revealing the profound impact of community on personal choices. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this compelling narrative invites readers to reflect on the delicate balance between societal norms and individual aspirations, making it a timeless exploration of human experience.
