An Engagement of Convenience is a novel written by Louis Zangwill and first published in 1908. Set in England, the story follows the lives of two young people, Isidore and Miriam, who are from different social classes. Isidore is a wealthy Jewish businessman while Miriam is a poor governess. When Isidore's family pressures him into marrying within his own social circle, he decides to propose to Miriam as an engagement of convenience to appease his family while secretly planning to break it off later. Miriam, who is deeply in love with Isidore, agrees to the proposal, hoping to use the engagement to improve her social status. The novel explores the themes of love, social class, and the pressures of family expectations. As the story unfolds, the characters face numerous obstacles and challenges that test their love and commitment to each other. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking tale that highlights the complexities of human relationships and the struggles of navigating societal norms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
