Bag om The Amazing Marriage

The Amazing Marriage is a novel written by George Meredith, first published in 1895. The story revolves around the marriage of two very different people, Sir Willoughby Patterne and Laetitia Dale.

Willoughby's past indiscretions and Laetitia's own secrets threaten to tear them apart, but they must learn to overcome their differences and work together if they want to save their marriage.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, class, and gender roles in Victorian society. Meredith's writing style is known for its complex and intricate prose, and The Amazing Marriage is no exception. The book is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the societal norms of the time.THE twenty-first of June was the day appointed by Captain Kirby to carry off Countess Fanny, and the time midnight: and ten minutes to the stroke of twelve, Countess Fanny, as if she scorned to conceal that she was in a conspiracy with her grey- haired lover, notwithstanding that she was watched and guarded, left the Marchioness of Arpington's ball-room and was escorted downstairs by her brother Lord Levellier, sworn to baffle Kirby.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
