Birds of Prey is a novel written by Mary E. Braddon, first published in 1867. The story is set in Victorian England and follows the life of a young woman named Bella Rolleston, who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Bella's husband, Conrad, is a wealthy and powerful man who is controlling and abusive towards her. As Bella struggles to cope with her unhappy marriage, she meets and falls in love with a young artist named Jack Hawley. However, their relationship is complicated by Conrad's jealousy and Bella's fear of his violent temper. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the power dynamics in relationships. It also delves into the societal expectations placed on women during the Victorian era and the limited options available to them in terms of marriage and independence. Overall, Birds of Prey is a gripping and emotional novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women during the 19th century. Braddon's vivid descriptions and complex characters make for a compelling read that will keep readers engaged from start to finish.Prequel to CHARLOTTE'S INHERITANCE.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
