Anna Ruina is a novel written by Michael Field and published in 1899. The story is set in Italy and follows the life of Anna Ruina, a young woman who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Anna's husband is abusive and controlling, and she is trapped in a loveless marriage. As the story progresses, Anna becomes increasingly unhappy and begins to question her own sanity. She starts to see visions of a mysterious woman who seems to be calling out to her. Anna becomes obsessed with finding out who this woman is and what she wants from her. Along the way, she meets a young man named Carlo who becomes her confidant and helps her to uncover the truth about her past. The novel is a haunting tale of love, loss, and the search for identity. It explores themes of mental illness, gender roles, and the constraints of society. Field's writing is lyrical and poetic, and the book is a beautiful example of late Victorian literature. Anna Ruina is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the novel or the development of feminist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
