"Sandra Belloni — Volume 6" by George Meredith is a story focused on Emilia, who is dealing with deep sadness and the loss of her singing voice, a major part of who she is. The complex story is filled with the themes of love, loss and self-worth and happens in the late 1800's. After a bad encounter with the insulting Mr. Pericles, who does not value her, Emilia’s low feelings grow. A character by the name of Sir Purcell seems concerned for Emilia but is happy when Mr. Pericles makes a promise. The main character is struggling a lot and the reader finds her wandering through a foggy city, feeling very alone. Yet, even though things are tough, Emilia still has some hope that she can get her voice back and tries to find comfort when meeting new people as the story gets going.

Summary
About the AuthorGeorge Meredith was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first, his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but Meredith gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles. Of his later novels, the most enduring is The Egoist (1879), though in his lifetime his greatest success was Diana of the Crossways (1885). His novels were innovative in their attention to characters' psychology, and also portrayed social change. His style, in both poetry and prose, was noted for its syntactic complexity; Oscar Wilde likened it to "chaos illumined by brilliant flashes of lightning". Meredith was an encourager of other novelists, as well as an influence on them; among those to benefit were Robert Louis Stevenson and George Gissing. Meredith was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times.
