Alex. McVeigh Mrs. Miller

Beschreibung

In "My Pretty Maid; or, Liane Lester," Alex. McVeigh Mrs. Miller offers a compelling narrative that blends elements of romance, social commentary, and the psychological struggles of its characters. The story unfolds around the titular character, Liane Lester, who grapples with societal expectations and the complexities of love. Written in an engaging yet accessible style, the book employs vivid imagery and well-crafted dialogues that reflect the floral prose typical of Victorian literature. Set against a backdrop of 19th-century America, it also serves as a critique of gender roles and class distinctions, capturing the zeitgeist of an era where women sought autonomy within the constraints of marriage and familial obligation. Alex. McVeigh Mrs. Miller was a prolific author and playwright who often drew inspiration from her own experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society. Her literature reflects her keen observation of social dynamics, particularly concerning women'Äôs roles in both public and private spheres. By weaving personal reflections into her narratives, she not only entertains but also encourages readers to reflect on their own positions within societal structures. This book is a must-read for those interested in feminist historical literature, as it intricately examines the intersection of identity, desire, and societal expectation. Readers will find in Liane Lester a relatable protagonist whose experiences resonate across time, making Miller's work both timely and timeless.

Arriving at the vast and imposing Lynche Castle in the depths of Gloucestershire, however, she finds that the child is far from welcome and that Lord Lynche, although more handsome than any other man she has ever seen, is living a dissolute bachelor’s life with his disreputable friends, who only want to gamble day and night at cards.

Slowly the veils of secrecy and mystery are peeled away and the darkness is lit up with the fire of love.

Love Wins

Barbara Cartland

On his return after six years’ fighting with the Duke of Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars, Colonel Romney Wood, who has just become Lord Heywood, is horrified at the state of the country he left behind, where agricultural labourers are now starving, food shops are bare and Luddites lay waste new agricultural machinery. 

 
Worse still his own estate is almost bankrupt and he has to find something to sell to save it and his loyal staff from penury.

 
He is considerably hampered because his grandfather has legally entailed everything of value onto future generations of Lord Heywoods and so he cannot dispose of virtually anything without the Trustees’ approval, which he knows will not be forthcoming.

 
Scouring Heywood Abbey, his country home, for possible items to sell, he is astonished when he stumbles across something he is soon to prize beyond price – a beautiful, fawn-like young girl with deep blue eyes in a white diaphanous nightgown. 

 
She is an interloper and a runaway, hiding from her wicked uncle, who is forcing her into marriage with a man she despises. 

 
Her name is Lalita. But more than that she will not tell Lord Heywood. 

 
Yet slowly she reveals more of herself to him – and with each revelation the bond between them grows. 

 
And in spite of himself Lord Heywood is falling in love. They are two people with nothing left to lose and maybe only love to win.
