Pembroke - Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

[Luke]

Pembroke, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, 1893, United States, NOVEL

"...With a cool eye, she saw the eccentricities, pride, and religious self-righteousness of those who lived around her, and depicted these qualities in her work, sometimes lovingly, sometimes with scorn...It might be easy to dismiss these people, but Mary Wilkins Freeman makes sure we understand that they are just that—people, who deserve love, even as they hold the world at arm's length..."
