Mary Olivier's life, interior and exterior, is presented from infancy through middle age. We watch as she forms her first impressions of her family and her place in it, and as she grapples with what she's taught about the Anglican God and His requirements. As she grows, her insatiable curiosity and hunger for knowledge put her at odds with Victorian England's expectations for women, its tolerance for alternative spiritual beliefs, and especially with what's acceptable to her mother. May Sinclair was the pen name of Mary Amelia St. Clair, a pioneer of modernist poetry and prose, with the autobiographical Mary Olivier: A Life being a particular example of the latter. May Sinclair (died 1946) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Mary Olivier A Life exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
