The Gilded Age

This is a story of being seen. Bella was seen by Eliot again and again. The first thing he saw was the sparkling soul under Conswell's appearance. He fell hopelessly in love with her. The second time he saw her was when she came back from South Africa and dressed up as George Churchill. Eliot still saw her at a glance, even though this appearance deceived Mary Coulson, the spy Erwin, and the entire upper class society. She is also seen by Albert, a unique soul from the future, a satirical play dressed as George Churchill. Conswell was seen by those who loved her. Anna recognized from the beginning that Bella was not her mistress. She fulfilled her wish, leafed through her favorite art books late at night, threatened Erwin to go with them for her, and handed her reports about Elvis. Erwin noticed that the Duchess holding a cigarette butt was more sensitive and fragile than in reality. There was a slight difference between the English-speaking and Dutch-speaking Duchess. The Duchess disguised as a man did not have the gentle eyes that seemed to be looking at him. He fell in love with Conswell in the dark room beside the iron pipe, under the shadow of the flower vines. He was the first person to see her from Conswell's perspective. Erwin was also seen by Constellation. She saw the precise German writing beneath the Scottish appearance, saw that the red-haired Scottish reporter and the blond German were the same person, saw the coachman, and saw Ives disguised as Miss Clark. I think being seen is a person's deepest need, not to be seen in appearance or identity, but to be seen in soul and mind. Even if Elliot could never express his complicated feelings to Bella, even if Conswell could never understand that Anna was more than a loyal maid to her, and even if Elvis and Conswell were separated from each other, at a certain moment their souls were intimate, and they were extremely close - Conswell saw Erwin's deep sadness in the German poem, and Anna gave her everything she wanted without the need for her mistress to issue instructions. The pleasure left by the momentary resonance of two souls lasts only a short moment, and it makes them taste it again and again. I think this is the author's definition of love.

Hey, isn't it true that the Churchill family has produced three prime ministers, Duke→Winston→George?

It's magnificent. Isabella, looking into the distance at Blenheim Palace, has never forgotten that she was once Isabella Young trapped in a hospital bed.

Thank you to Bizhan for pushing Million American Princess to me, thank you to everyone who left comments recommending novels, and especially thank you to the author's wife who took the trouble to write this million words. I am grateful to have encountered such a magnificent and meticulous work. See you again~

Thank you, madam, for bringing such a good story. I'm just a little sorry that Conswell and Isabella can't go to the Empire State Building to sing together. T_T Little Constellation was favored the most because it reminded Isabella of Constellation. What a wonderful sisterly love.

I can't believe why there are only 20,000 collections of this book [changed]

I can't remember how many times I watched it. Every time I watched it again after forgetting some of the content, but every time I reviewed it, I would be touched by different points, either heartbroken or crying. When I re-read this book, I actually explored it with some caution, because I was a little afraid that the almost invulnerable impression of a hexagon left by the last time I read this book - to use Teacher Miao's way of inserting sentences - would be broken. However, it has been proved time and time again that such worries are completely unnecessary! Most of the online articles I have read have no profound content, or it can be seen that some articles consciously want to touch deeper content, but are somewhat less popular. Teacher Meow's articles - whether it is The Gilded Years or Harriet - are a breath of fresh air in online articles. As I have seen in other wonderful long reviews, The Gilded Years almost exceeds The existence of online articles can already be regarded as literary works. All that is left is to wait quietly for time to settle. Judging from the large number of reference materials and Teacher Miao's insistence on using English and Chinese to interpret the story in the novel, this novel must have a threshold. At the beginning, I also sighed that the gold was buried, but after reading n, I sighed, maybe this novel is also as gilded Isabella was still not understood when she was young, but when time washes away the glitz and dust, she will eventually meet many friends who share the same love! Teacher Meow is really awesome! ! I look forward to more of Teacher Miao's writing, and I'm also curious about how Teacher Miao came across this kind of historical novel. And how did you decide to write The Gilded Years? Because to be honest, this is the first one I have read. The historical facts are so sophisticated, the thoughts are so in-depth, and the writing is concise and elegant. It is a historical novel. You don't need to think too much to feel the difficulty behind it. This is why everyone in the mainstream loves to write imaginary novels.

Finally I turned to the last page of this book. There are so many things I want to say, so much that it seems impossible to extract them from my chaotic thoughts and turn them into words - but there is only one sentence that I want to say no matter what: Thank you for letting us see such a story.

I'm electronically lovelorn. It was so well written that I burst into tears. I will definitely come back and try again

I've finished reading it. My wife's writing is so good. Every character is complex and deep, and so are the annoying villains. I look forward to more of my wife's works.
