Published in 1925, this novel was initially considered controversial because of its frank portrayal of martial infidelity. However, I think the implication of diplomatic corruption and the critique of British class system had something to do with it as well. Perhaps it hit a bit too close too home for the 1920th society, and for some especially so.

ReplyDeleteJako lijepa ogrlica divnih boja i vrhunske izrade! Ne znam kako si je uspijela izraditi, izgleda baš teško. Sama baš nisam ljubiteljica tih ogrlica uz vrat jer dobijem neki osjećaj klaustrofobije i davljenja :)

DeleteI hope the crystals bring you lots of positive energy, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteI think that they're just ordinary stones but thanks:)
