Description

Diana Tempest by Mary Cholmondeley follows Colonel Tempest and his son Archie as they journey to Overleigh to visit the Colonel’s dying brother.

Through memory and reunion, the novel explores the weight of choices, the complexities of affection, and the enduring impact of societal and familial expectations.

Author

Mary Cholmondeley (1859–1925) was English novelist of psychological depth. Born aristocratic, she explored Victorian women's constraints. Her breakthrough, "Red Pottage," depicted repression and greed. She portrayed claustrophobic domestic settings, blending mystery with realism. Unmarried, she channelled observation into fiction. Her work influenced feminist literature.
