Publisher's Synopsis
Forbidden To Wed is a novel written by Mrs. George Linnaeus Banks and first published in 1885. The story revolves around the central character, Maud, who is forced to choose between two men she loves. Maud is engaged to the wealthy and titled Sir Douglas Haig, but she is also in love with a young artist named Reginald Vereker. Maud's father is determined that she should marry Sir Douglas, but Maud's heart belongs to Reginald. The novel explores the themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. It also delves into the class divide of Victorian society, with Maud's father disapproving of Reginald's lack of wealth and status. As the title suggests, the novel ends with Maud being forbidden to wed Reginald, and she is left to make a difficult decision about her future. Forbidden To Wed is a classic Victorian novel that offers a fascinating insight into the social norms and expectations of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
