Green Pleasure and Grey Grief is a novel written by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford and first published in 1886. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Lady Edith and Lady Mildred, who are vastly different in character and temperament. Lady Edith is beautiful, charming, and vivacious, while Lady Mildred is plain, quiet, and reserved.As the story unfolds, Lady Edith becomes engaged to the wealthy and handsome Lord Delamere, while Lady Mildred finds herself falling in love with the dashing but penniless Captain Everard. However, their happiness is short-lived as tragedy strikes, and both sisters are forced to confront the harsh realities of life.The novel explores themes of love, loss, betrayal, and the complexities of family relationships. It also touches on the social norms and expectations of the Victorian era, particularly the role of women in society.Green Pleasure and Grey Grief was one of Hungerford's most popular works and helped establish her as a leading author of romantic fiction in the late 19th century. The book is known for its vivid descriptions, engaging characters, and emotional depth, making it a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
