Publisher's Synopsis
Clare (1878) is a novel written by Lizzie Alldridge. The book is set in the late 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Clare who comes from a wealthy family. Despite her privileged background, Clare is unhappy and struggles with feelings of isolation and loneliness. She finds solace in her art, which she pursues with passion and dedication. However, her family does not understand or support her artistic ambitions, and she is forced to navigate the challenges of pursuing her dreams in a society that does not value women's creativity. Along the way, Clare meets a number of interesting characters, including a young artist named Jack who becomes her friend and confidant. As she struggles to find her place in the world, Clare must confront the limitations imposed on her by her gender and social class and find the courage to pursue her own path.
