Miss Mole

Hannah Mole, the child of poor farmers, is now a forty-year-old woman who spent her life working as a governess in the households of the wealthy. Not having the freedom to live life as she desires, she contents herself by making ironic comments in order to cause shock, in an effort to mask her true personality. The plot focuses on the interactions between Miss Mole and her new employers, Reverend Corder and his family, in which she assumes a motherly role. Miss Mole's sharp wit and generous spirit help guide the growing family, but raise one of the novel's central questions: who is taking care of Miss Mole? E. H. Young (died 1949) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Miss Mole exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
