Clarissa is torn between her duty to her family and her love for Richard.As the story unfolds, Clarissa faces many obstacles, including the loss of her father, the betrayal of her husband, and the discovery of a long-held family secret. Through it all, she remains determined to find happiness and love. The novel explores themes of duty, love, and sacrifice, and provides a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the time.""The Reason Why"" was a best-seller in its time and is considered a classic of historical fiction. It has been adapted for film and television several times, and remains a popular choice for readers interested in Victorian-era literature.1911. Glyn, English novelist, whose best-selling romantic novels were once considered daring and slightly scandalous. The Reason Why begins: People often wondered what nation the great financier, Francis Markrute, originally sprang from. He was now a naturalized Englishman and he looked English enough. He was slight and fair, and had an immaculately groomed appearance generally-which even the best of valets cannot always produce. He wore his clothes with that quiet, unconscious air which is particularly English. He had no perceptible accent-only a deliberate way of speaking.
