"Clementinas Stolthet" r en f ngslande ber ttelse av William Locke som utforskar sp nningen mellan konstn rlig h ngivenhet och m nsklig n rhet. Huvudpersonen, Clementina Wing, r en framg ngsrik men desillusionerad portr ttm lare som har valt att leva ett liv i ensamhet, befriad fr n romantiska illusioner. Hon d ljer sin inre passion under en bister yta, men hennes tillvaro tar en ov ntad v ndning n r hon dras in i den excentriske Ephraim Quixtus de.
Genom ett galleri av f rgstarka karakt rer och kvicka dialoger belyser boken tidens sociala konventioner och den eviga l ngtan efter f rst else. Locke v ver samman humor och allvar n r han skildrar Clementinas resa fr n sj lvvald isolering mot en nyfunnen livsgl dje. Ber ttelsen r en hyllning till den sj lvst ndiga kvinnan och unders ker hur k rlek och v nskap kan blomstra p de mest ov ntade platser.
William Locke lyckas i "Clementinas Stolthet" skapa ett gripande portr tt av en kvinna som v gar st f r sin talang och sin stolthet i en f r nderlig v rld. Verket r en klassisk skildring av m nsklig mognad och de ov ntade v gar hj rtat kan ta n r man minst anar det.
