The Hand of Ethelberta is a novel written by Thomas Hardy that was first published in 1876. The book tells the story of Ethelberta, a young woman who is trying to rise above her humble origins and become a lady. She is a talented musician and singer, and she uses her skills to gain access to high society.Ethelberta is a complex character who is both ambitious and compassionate. She is torn between her desire for success and her loyalty to her family and friends. As she navigates the social scene, she is courted by several suitors, including a wealthy widower and a dashing poet.The novel is set in Victorian England, and it explores themes of class, gender, and social mobility. It also features a cast of memorable characters, including Ethelberta's siblings, her employer, and her suitors. The Hand of Ethelberta is a witty and engaging novel that showcases Hardy's skill as a storyteller.Perhaps not. And when a man checks all a woman's finer sentiments towards him by marrying her, it is only natural that it should find a vent somewhere. However, she probably does not know of my downfall since father's death. I hardly think she would have cared to do it had she known that.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
