About this book
In a time when societal norms dictated the roles of women, "Least Said, Soonest Mended" by Agnes Giberne explores the complexities of personal expression and the weight of unspoken truths. Through the eyes of Kitty Phrynne, readers witness her struggle against the constraints of duty and the expectations of love, revealing the tension between societal pressures and individual desires. Giberne deftly navigates themes of communication and misunderstanding, emphasizing that sometimes silence can be more powerful than words. Ideal for students and civic activists seeking to understand the nuances of 19th-century gender dynamics, this novel offers a poignant reflection on the consequences of our choices and the delicate balance between honesty and discretion.
