About the Book
Amethyst: The Story of a Beauty follows the story of a beautiful young woman, raised by her aunt, who has done everything possible to provide the best education and upbringing for her niece. However, financial difficulties force the aunt to reconsider her niece's future, particularly her introduction into society. The story begins with a conversation between the aunt and her brother, where they discuss the financial crisis that affects their ability to give the niece a proper debut into high society. Although the aunt desires the best for her niece, she realizes that her dwindling resources cannot support the plans she had envisioned. The narrative explores how the aunt navigates these challenges, ultimately deciding to send her niece back to her mother's household. This sets the stage for the young womanÍs new life, as she faces the complexities of her changing circumstances and the challenges of stepping into society under different conditions. The story emphasizes themes of sacrifice, family obligations, and the social realities that influence personal destinies.
Christabel Rose Coleridge was an English novelist and editor, born on May 25, 1843, in London. She was the daughter of Derwent Coleridge and became well-known for her editorial work, particularly in girls' magazines, where she collaborated with novelist Charlotte Mary Yonge. Coleridge's views on the role of women in society were conservative, and these beliefs shaped her literary career. Her works often reflected traditional values, emphasizing moral storytelling and character development. She was deeply involved in the literary world, focusing on writing that conveyed strong ethical lessons. Coleridge's contributions to literature, especially in the context of women's roles, left a lasting impact on 19th-century literature. She spent much of her later life in Torquay, where she passed away on November 14, 1921, at the age of 78. Through her work in magazines and novels, she played a significant part in shaping the literary landscape for women in the Victorian era. Her legacy continues to be remembered for her role in both the literary and editorial worlds.
