| Summary | "Rue and Roses" by Angela Langer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Anna, a deeply introspective young woman facing the challenges of her German upbringing, family struggles, and emerging desires for love and a better life. As she navigates her responsibilities as a governess, Anna grapples with loneliness and the societal constraints placed on women, particularly in the context of her unfulfilled dreams and aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Anna's childhood in a modest, struggling family, highlighted by vivid memories of Christmas and family dynamics that shape her character. As she reminisces about her early experiences, it's evident that Anna's life is marked by a yearning for more — more love, creativity, and autonomy. Her introspective nature drives her to write poetry, serving as both an escape and a reflection of her innermost feelings. The narrative hints at her complex relationship with her family, particularly her father’s failure in business and the burdens of poverty as they move from one home to another. Anna's situation reflects broader themes of female identity and social class, setting a poignant tone for her journey of self-discovery and longing for connection beyond her restrictive environment.
