And at the heart of her mystery was a red silk dress At the end of World War II, five-year-old Carlotta Carrie Saari, who was boarded out during the war, reunites with her family. She and her older sister Beth are soon bonded by their love of stories, Finnish mythology, the different characters that fill their lives, and their need to solve the mystery that surrounds their mother. They secretly discover a red Chinese dress (qipao) in their attic. Soon Beths awakening sexuality creates an undercurrent of tension with their mother, suddenly exploding when Beth appears in the red dress. The sisters world then shatters when their mother mysteriously disappears. Beth goes on to live a nomadic life, intermittently visiting Carrie, who becomes disturbed by Beths blatant approach to sex. Their mothers red dress, which Beth had taken, appears from time to time throughout Carries life. While Carrie moves through the turbulence of the twentieth century, her quest to uncover the mystery of the red dress and her mothers disappearance takes her back to the Shanghai of the 1920s, on a journey to self-discovery and the healing power of love.

Sanctity and Motherhood : Essays on Holy Mothers in the Middle Ages (1500)
EN NW EB DLISBN: 9781134819423 bzw. 1134819420, in Englisch, Taylor and Francis, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
Lieferung aus: Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirland, Despatched same working day before 3pm.
Increasingly, recent scholarship has focused on those married women and mothers in the Middle Ages who achieved holiness. The Merovingian Waldetrudis and Rictrudis; Ida, mother of the crusader king Godfrey of Bouillon; Elisabeth of Hungary and Bridget of Sweden are among them. Unlike Mary and her mother, Saint Anne (mother saints, whose sanctity was based on motherhood) these female parents were honoured despite rather than because of their children. They were holy mothers, whose status as spouses and mothers gave them a public voice and opened for them the road to sanctification. They successfully combined marriage and motherhood with a religious life and functioned as holy women in their community. Despite increasing respect, tension between the roles of saint and wife persisted. Saintly women were not expected to be happily married: the ancient prejudice against sexual passion and physical ease mitigated the enjoyment of married life. The book's original essays focus on Northern Europe, where the cult of Saint Anne reached its climax around 1500. It does not explore Church doctrine and theology, as other studies do, but examines the religious experience of historical holy mothers and saints and how these women were perceived by their communities and their biographers.
