Rosa Nouchette Carey, 1840-1909
Rosa Nouchette Carey wrote about forty novels, many of which achieved
great popularity. Her fiction focused on domestic and family themes, and
her plots and characters generally reflected a conservative outlook. In
her youth, Carey tried to quench her longing to write, believing that
it was impossible to combine literary achievement with a useful domestic
life. But her writing won out, and she never married. Although her literary
reputation was not high, her works sold well, remaining in print from
1868 until 1924.
