Highlights is a novel written by Caroline Leslie Field and published in 1886. The story follows the life of a young woman named Marion, who is raised in a wealthy and privileged family in New York City. Despite her privileged upbringing, Marion is not content with the superficiality and materialism of her social circle. She longs for a deeper, more meaningful life.As the story progresses, Marion becomes increasingly disillusioned with her privileged lifestyle and begins to explore new avenues of self-discovery. She becomes involved in charity work and begins to develop a more compassionate and empathetic outlook on life. Along the way, she meets a young man named Philip, who shares her passion for social justice and becomes her romantic interest.The novel is a commentary on the social and cultural mores of the late 19th century, particularly in relation to women's roles and expectations. It explores themes of class, privilege, and social responsibility, as well as the struggle for personal fulfillment and meaning in a rapidly changing world.Overall, Highlights is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a window into the social and cultural landscape of the late 19th century, as well as a timeless message about the importance of personal growth and self-discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
