Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the lives of George Sand and her daughter Solange during their years together from 1835-1847, when Solange was between the ages of 7 and 18. The writer, known for her prolific literary career that challenged societal norms of her day, began to raise Solange as a single mother after a tumultuous relationship with the girl's father, who fought to prevent George Sand from raising their children. Amidst this family turmoil and an examination of the social climate from which it arose, the author's attempts and challenges in raising and educating Solange are brought into focus. The writer's commitment to progressive education and a personal moral compass for her daughter are juxtaposed against the daughter's resistance to authority and her need for personal independence and validation. The collision of these ideas reveals a broader understanding of the period's changing morals and the transition between an older generation's beliefs and those of the younger generation as they reached maturity.
