Jewel sowers: a novel by Edith Allonby
"Jewel Sowers" by Edith Allonby is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book opens on a fantastical planet called Lucifram, where the norms of reality are turned upside down, reflecting a surreal society where residents walk on their heads and worship a cruel deity represented by a golden serpent. The narrative introduces characters like Camille Barringcourt, a man of mystery, and Rosalie, a beautiful but mute woman longingfor a voice in a world that is filled with strange customs and stringent rules. At the start of the narrative, readers are welcomed to Lucifram, a unique setting that immediately captures the imagination with its whimsical and peculiar traits. The excerpt details the customs of its inhabitants and hints at a broader exploration of themes such as oppression and desire for freedom through characters who seek agency within their restrictive society. Rosalie’s journey, intertwined with her desperate prayers for speech and companionship, sets the stage for a tale that promises both personal and societal challenges in a richly conceived world. As she faces her profound longing for connection and a place to belong, readers are invited to explore the transformative power of self-discovery and the quest for personal agency.
