Sheila KayeSmith Libri
Sheila Kaye-Smith catturò l'essenza della vita rurale nel Sussex e nel Kent nei suoi primi romanzi, esplorando temi legati all'agricoltura, all'eredità terriera e ai ruoli in evoluzione delle donne. Più tardi nella sua carriera, la sua scrittura si spostò su temi religiosi e sulla sua conversione al cattolicesimo. Devota studiosa di Jane Austen, collaborò anche a libri che esploravano l'opera della Austen.
