Life and Death of Harriet Frean Sinclair, May

**Life and Death of Harriet Frean** - May Sinclair's brilliantly sharp psychological novella that'll mess with your head in the best possible way. Follow Harriet from childhood to old age as she lives the "perfect" Victorian life - dutiful daughter, self-sacrificing woman, model citizen. But here's the kicker: Sinclair slowly peels back the layers to reveal how society's expectations can quietly destroy a person from the inside out.

This modernist gem explores repression, female identity, and the suffocating weight of social conformity with surgical precision. Perfect for fans of psychological fiction, feminist literature, or anyone who enjoys books that pack a serious punch in under 200 pages. Sinclair was a pioneering writer who understood human psychology long before it was trendy.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for readers who appreciate classic literature without the stuffiness.

**Reader Reviews:**
