She travels to England, where she is taken in by a wealthy family and falls in love with their son, Charles.

With vivid characters and a compelling plot, Lucinda is a gripping historical novel that explores themes of identity, faith, and love in a turbulent era.Whether it was given me as a Presage of my future Intrigues I know not, but it cost my Mother no little Trouble to have me so christned, and by it I lost the Favour of an Aunt, who it is supposed would have left me all she was worth, had my Mother consented to have named me Dorothy after my Aunt's Name. Alas! I was so foolish that I lamented not for this, and I would not for twice the Fortune have been called by so vulgar a Name. With such foolish Trifles are young People delighted!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
