(Emily Sarah) The White Rose of Langley A Story of the Olden Time Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The White Rose of Langley" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel set in the fifteenth century. The story unfolds in aristocratic circles, exploring themes of love, loss, and the stark realities of life during that time. The narrative follows a young girl named Maude, who is left orphaned and alone after her mother, Eleanor, succumbs to the harshness of their world. Maude's plight and resilience set the stage for her journey through a life filled with hardship, hope, and the longing for belonging. The opening of the novel introduces us to Maude and her mother as they endure a frigid winter in the forest. Maude’s innocence contrasts with Eleanor's bitter despair, highlighting the weight of their struggles. After Eleanor's tragic death from exposure, Maude finds herself taken to a convent, where she grapples with her new reality as an orphan. The narrative then progresses to Maude's tentative entry into servitude at Langley Palace, where she navigates her status as a lowly servant, encounters new acquaintances, and learns about her own worth in a world that seems unforgiving. Through these early chapters, the reader begins to see the complexities of Maude's character and the circumstances that will shape her destiny. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
