Description

Autobiographical stories, essays, and a novella in which Moore revisits love affairs, art, and the ghosts of memory. Fragmented reminiscence rather than one continuous novel plot. Desire, regret, and the passage of time arrive in shifting keys. Moore on lives already lived and still echoing through rooms that will not stay quiet.

Author

George Moore (1852–1933) was the Irish novelist who brought French naturalism into English fiction and never quite stopped arguing with Ireland about it. Trained among the painters and writers of Paris, he wrote of art, desire, and the stubborn facts of ordinary life — servants, theatres, and consciences under pressure. Esther Waters remains his most durable novel: a story of a working woman's endurance told without Victorian flinch.
