Jan Struther Livres

The narrative follows the life of a woman embodying a privileged existence in 1930s Britain, reflecting the author's own background. She navigates her roles as a mother and housewife, managing homes in both town and country, with servants to assist her. Her son attends Eton, and she partakes in seasonal activities like grouse shooting in Scotland, highlighting the disparities in social class and the notion of "ordinary" life during that era.

Mrs. Miniver begegnet dem Leben mit Neugier und findet in Alltäglichem philosophische Einsichten. Jan Struthers' Werk, ein Weltbestseller von 1940, bietet mit der Figur Caroline Miniver Hoffnung und Licht in politisch schwierigen Zeiten und inspirierte einen erfolgreichen Hollywoodfilm.
