Publisher's Synopsis

ander McVeigh Miller is a novel about a young woman named Edith who is caught between her desire for independence and her duty to her family. Edith is the daughter of a wealthy businessman who wants her to marry a man of his choosing, but she has her own ideas about what she wants in life. She meets and falls in love with a young artist named Philip, but their relationship is threatened by the expectations of their respective families. As She Would Have It explores themes of love, duty, and the struggle for independence in a society that values tradition and conformity. Edith and Philip must navigate the expectations of their families and the pressures of society while trying to stay true to their own desires. The novel also touches on issues of class and gender, as Edith's father expects her to marry into a wealthy family and conform to societal norms for women. Miller's writing is descriptive and evocative, painting a vivid picture of the world in which Edith and Philip live. The novel is a poignant exploration of the human heart and the choices we make in pursuit of our own happiness. As She Would Have It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
