Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of love, marriage, and societal expectations in late Victorian England. The narrative follows Monica, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, as she grapples with her yearning for genuine connection and her desire for independence. Her journey intersects with the lives of other women, each navigating the constraints and challenges imposed upon them by the rigid norms of their time. The author masterfully portrays the inner turmoil and societal pressures faced by women in an era marked by strict gender roles and limited opportunities. Through Monica's story, the book explores themes of marital discontent, societal hypocrisy, and the yearning for personal fulfilment. The constraints of Victorian morality clash with the protagonist's pursuit of happiness, leading to a series of difficult choices and moral dilemmas. This book offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the enduring quest for love and self-discovery. The author's insights into the human condition, particularly the experiences of women in a bygone era, remain relevant and thought-provoking, shedding light on the timeless struggles for individual autonomy and emotional fulfilment.
