1867
A novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows two contrasting characters, Letty Bright and her cousin Agnes, as they navigate the challenges of courtship, marriage, and domestic life. Through their experiences, the novel explores themes of social class, personal values, and the pursuit of happiness in a changing world. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Letty, a hardworking girl who is preparing for her upcoming marriage to John Caswell. As she discusses her plans with her employer, Mrs. Trescott, Letty expresses her desire for a modest yet fulfilling life built on solid principles. In contrast, her cousin Agnes, who is engaged to the carefree Joseph Emerson, indulges in materialistic aspirations, focusing on extravagant wedding preparations. The opening chapters set the stage for the unfolding drama between these two starkly different paths, showcasing their individual dreams and the societal expectations placed upon them as they embark on their respective marital journeys.
