Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of marriage and societal expectations in the late 19th century through the lens of an upper-class couple's dissolving union. The story follows Guy, a learned and wealthy man, and Daisy, a young woman who married for convenience rather than love. As Guy faces financial ruin, the couple's already strained relationship crumbles further when Daisy's scheming father orchestrates a swift and shocking divorce, exploiting the era's lax divorce laws. Caught in a web of manipulation and heartbreak, Guy struggles to understand Daisy's apparent complicity in their separation. The novel delves into the societal pressures and gender dynamics that shape the choices of both characters, highlighting the plight of women in a society that values them primarily for their marriageability. Through Daisy's character, the author explores the limited options and societal constraints faced by women of the time, while Guy's experiences shed light on the complexities of masculinity and the consequences of societal expectations. This poignant tale serves as a powerful critique of the institution of marriage and the hypocrisy that often underpinned it, leaving readers to contemplate the true meaning of love, commitment, and personal fulfillment.
