Marriage (1893)

Marriage is a novel written by Scottish author Susan Edmonstone Ferrier and published in 1893. The story is set in Scotland and follows the lives of two sisters, Lady Juliana and Lady Emily, who are both in search of a suitable husband. Lady Juliana is a beautiful and wealthy woman who is courted by many suitors, but she is unable to find true love. Lady Emily, on the other hand, is plain and poor, and her chances of finding a husband seem slim. The novel explores the themes of love, marriage, and social class, and highlights the challenges faced by women in the 19th century. It also provides a satirical commentary on the societal norms and expectations surrounding marriage and relationships during that time. Throughout the book, Ferrier portrays the struggles of women in a patriarchal society, where their worth is often determined by their ability to secure a suitable husband. The characters in the novel are complex and well-developed, and the plot is filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged until the very end. Overall, Marriage is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the 19th century and the challenges they faced in pursuit of love and happiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
