In the historically rich landscape of Sheffield and the stark isolation of the moorlands, Lady Lenore perceives herself not as an individual, but as a tool.
Will Lenore resist this change, or will she begin to embrace her own desires in a society that demands conformity and obedience? The tension between personal longing and social obligation unfolds against the backdrop of a woman’s struggle for acceptance and survival during the Industrial Revolution.
Dunn employs stark symbolism—blood and money—to craft a narrative that is as breathtaking as it is brutal. Her prose is a testament to the beauty of classic literature, melding poetic language with compelling storytelling. This work stands as a remarkable exploration of identity, illuminating the complexities of a woman’s inner life in a constrictive world.
