Publisher's Synopsis

The Huntingdons: Or Glimpses Of Inner Life is a novel written by Maria Louise Hayward and published in 1863. The story revolves around the Huntingdon family, who are wealthy and well-respected in their community. However, beneath the surface, each member of the family is struggling with their own personal demons and secrets.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, family relationships, and the societal expectations placed on individuals during the Victorian era. The Huntingdons are depicted as complex characters, each with their own flaws and strengths.The main character, Gertrude Huntingdon, is a young woman who is forced into a loveless marriage with a man she does not love. She struggles to find happiness and fulfillment in her life, and her story is a poignant commentary on the limited options available to women in the 19th century.The novel is written in a lyrical and descriptive style, with vivid depictions of the English countryside and the Huntingdon family's luxurious estate. It is a compelling portrait of Victorian society and the struggles faced by individuals who do not fit neatly into its rigid social hierarchy.Overall, The Huntingdons: Or Glimpses Of Inner Life is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that offers a glimpse into the inner lives of its characters and the complexities of Victorian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
