Açıklama
"Ruben and Ivy Sên" by Louise Jordan Miln is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers on a widowed Englishwoman, Ruby Sên, and her two Anglo-Chinese children—Ruben, who looks English, and Ivy, who looks Chinese—as they navigate identity, prejudice, and high society in London. Ruby’s steadfast refusal to remarry, despite Lord Whitmore’s devoted pursuit, frames a family drama about love, loyalty, and belonging. The story especially follows Ivy’s coming-of-age amid social scrutiny and her longing to feel fully English.
The opening of this novel introduces Lord Whitmore’s failed proposal and the divided reactions it sparks: Ivy is angry, Ruben relieved, and the Snows—Ruby’s kinsfolk—recall the costly courage of Ruby’s marriage to the Chinese gentleman Sên King-lo. We see Ivy’s torment over her Chinese features, her plea to Lady Snow to push Ruby into marrying Whitmore so she can claim an English name, and Sir Charles Snow’s quiet watchfulness over the mixed-heritage children.
