Hands Not Hearts is a novel written by Isabella Schuster and originally published in 1878. The story is set in England and follows the life of the protagonist, Florence, who is a young woman from a wealthy family. Florence is engaged to a man named Arthur, but she begins to have doubts about their relationship when she meets a young artist named Victor. As Florence spends more time with Victor, she realizes that she is in love with him and must make a difficult decision about her future.The novel explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations. Florence struggles with the idea of breaking off her engagement to Arthur, as it would be seen as scandalous and could damage her family's reputation. Meanwhile, Victor is from a lower social class and faces his own challenges in pursuing a relationship with Florence.Throughout the book, Schuster highlights the importance of following one's heart and making choices based on personal happiness rather than societal norms. The title, Hands Not Hearts, suggests that physical actions (represented by hands) are not as important as emotional connections (represented by hearts) in relationships.Overall, Hands Not Hearts is a romantic novel that challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations. It offers a glimpse into Victorian-era England and the struggles faced by young women in that time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
