Prisoners - Mary Cholmondeley - Bog

Prisoners is a novel written by Mary Cholmondeley that explores the themes of love, class, and social status in Victorian England. The story centers around two sisters, Rachel and Rosamund, who are forced to confront their own beliefs and prejudices when they become involved with two very different men. Rachel falls in love with a working-class man named Dick, while Rosamund becomes engaged to a wealthy aristocrat named Edward. As the sisters navigate their relationships and the expectations of society, they begin to question the rigid class distinctions that dictate their lives. The novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of love and social status, and a commentary on the limitations imposed by Victorian society.""I said good-bye to him in the garden, and then the garden was surrounded because they were looking for the murderer of the marchese, and Michael could not get out. And he was afraid of being seen, for fear of compromising me. So he hid behind the screen in my room. And then--you know the rest--the police came in and searched my rooms, and Michael came out and confessed to the murder, and said I had let him hide in my room. It was the only thing to do to save my reputation, and he did it.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
