Beschreibung
First published in 1908 The Old Wives' Tale affirms the integrity of ordinary lives as it tells the story of the Baines sisters--shy retiring Constance and defiant romantic Sophia--over the course of nearly half a century. Bennett traces the sisters' lives from childhood in their father's drapery shop in provincial Bursley England during the mid-Victorian era through their married lives to the modern industrial age when they are reunited as old women. The setting moves from the Five Towns of Staffordshire to exotic and cosmopolitan Paris while the action moves from the subdued domestic routine of the Baines household to the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War.

Über den Autor
Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was born in Hanley, Staffordshire. After a secondary school education, he wroked first for his father, a self-taught solicitor, and then moved to London as a shorthand clerk with a firm of solicitors. He began to write to make extra money and his first novel, A Man From the North, appeared in 1898. In 1900 he finished The Grand Babylon Hotel, published in 1902, and began Anna of the Five Towns (1902), in which he first started to use the Potteries of his boyhood as a setting for his novels. The Old Wives' Tale (1908) was written in France and it was followed by the Clayhanger trilogy: Clayhanger (1910), Hilda Lessways (1911) and These Twain (1916). His works also include several plays, two volumes of short stories and several other novels.
