Publisher's Synopsis
""A Bit of Finesse: A Story of Fifty Years Ago"" is a novel written by Harriet Newell Lodge and originally published in 1894. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Fanny, who lives with her family in a small town. Fanny is an intelligent and independent woman who dreams of pursuing a career in teaching, but her family and society's expectations of women at the time prevent her from doing so. As Fanny navigates the challenges of societal expectations, she also finds herself caught in a love triangle between two men: the charming and wealthy Mr. Graham and the kind and hardworking Mr. Brown. Her decisions regarding her love life and career path ultimately lead her to discover the importance of self-discovery and following one's own desires, rather than adhering to societal norms. The novel provides insight into the social and cultural expectations of women during the mid-19th century, as well as the challenges and opportunities available to them during that time period. It is a story of love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment in a society that often stifles individuality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
