Ana Veronica by H G Wells

[Milind]

The author has in a easy flowing style opened up the world of a young girl in the early twentieth century England.
A story of that girl far ahead of its time.
The character build up of the protagonist Ana, with her rare self confidence, strong will with streaks of feminist idealogy makes it relevant even in today's times.
But ultimately, why such a gritty girl sacrifices all those qualities at the altar of love is bit mysterious.
Non the less a classic read which transports you to those times and aquaints you with the condition and dependence of women then.
