Pointed Roofs - Dorothy Richardson - Bog

""Pointed Roofs"" is a novel by British author Dorothy Richardson, first published in 1915. It is the first book in her thirteen-part series ""Pilgrimage"". The novel follows the story of Miriam Henderson, a young woman from a middle-class family who moves to London to work as a teacher. The narrative is told through Miriam's stream of consciousness, providing an intimate look into her thoughts and experiences as she navigates the challenges of living in a new city and pursuing her own independence. The novel is notable for its innovative use of stream of consciousness, which was a relatively new technique at the time of its publication. Richardson's writing style is characterized by its attention to detail and its focus on the inner lives of her characters. The novel also explores themes of gender, class, and the role of women in society. Overall, ""Pointed Roofs"" is a pioneering work of modernist literature that offers a unique and insightful perspective on the experiences of a young woman in early 20th century England.Miriam paid her first visit to a German church the next day, her third Sunday.
