'Uncle Max' by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a captivating Victorian novel that intricately weaves together themes of family, duty, and love. Set in the idyllic English countryside, the story revolves around the titular character, Max Farleigh, a kind and generous uncle who unexpectedly becomes the guardian of his orphaned nieces and nephews. Carey’s prose skillfully brings to life the complexities of Max’s role as a surrogate parent, as he navigates the challenges of raising a young family while also grappling with his own desires for independence and fulfillment. The narrative is filled with poignant moments of familial bonding, as well as unexpected twists and turns that keep readers engrossed throughout. Through Max’s interactions with the children under his care, Carey explores the nuances of family dynamics and the sacrifices we make for those we love. With its richly drawn characters and evocative depiction of Victorian society, 'Uncle Max' transports readers to a bygone era where honor, integrity, and compassion are paramount.

       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
