Synopsis
Excerpt from Lady Verners Flight
"Never to be born at all is the best of all lots, and the second best is for a child to return as quickly as possible after his birth to the place from which he came." - Sophocles.
"Cousin or no cousin, she has been the kindest friend I have ever had," says Kenrick, warmly, his young and kindly face lighting as he speaks. There is still a good deal of the boy about him. "And I say it is a shame that her life should be spoiled by such a beast as that Verner. Why, he - he isn't even decent."
"It is horrible!" returns Lady Carysfort, tears in her handsome eyes. "But what I mean is, that you being her cousin and I her aunt, the world will regard us as prejudiced."
"Who cares about the world?" says he, throwing up his head. Considering he is quite three-and-twenty, such astonishing valor is hardly to be expected.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book opens in the Victorian era as a young woman, Rhoda, grapples with the stifling conventions of the time. Her misery is compounded by her marriage to a vile man who squanders her fortune, publicly humiliates her, and degrades her life beyond recognition. The author explores the complex emotions of an intelligent and sensitive woman trapped in an abusive relationship, and the consequences of the social constraints upon her during a period of rigid gender roles and limited options for women. This book is a damning indictment of the treatment of women in the 19th century, showcasing the strength and resilience of its protagonist as she struggles against an oppressive social order and her cruel spouse in a desperate search for freedom and happiness. It's a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of love, betrayal, and the fight for justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330532690_0
