Guy And Pauline (1915)

Guy and Pauline is a novel by Compton Mackenzie, first published in 1915. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the lives of two young people, Guy and Pauline, who fall in love despite their different backgrounds. Guy is a wealthy young man who has recently inherited his father's estate, while Pauline is a middle-class girl from a family of artists. Their relationship is complicated by the social expectations of the time, as well as by Guy's own insecurities and Pauline's artistic ambitions. As they navigate their way through the challenges of their relationship, they also encounter a cast of colorful characters, including Guy's eccentric aunt, a group of bohemian artists, and a suave Frenchman who threatens to come between them. Ultimately, Guy and Pauline must decide whether their love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles in their path, or whether they are better off pursuing their separate paths in life. Mackenzie's novel is a poignant and insightful exploration of the complexities of love and social class, and a vivid portrait of a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
