Idalia is a novel by Ouida, originally published in 1867. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the life of the beautiful and talented young Idalia, who is orphaned at a young age and left in the care of her cruel and manipulative aunt. Despite her difficult circumstances, Idalia remains determined to make a life for herself and pursue her passions, which include music and art.As she grows older, Idalia becomes involved with a wealthy and powerful man named Lord Royallieu, who is drawn to her beauty and talent. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Royallieu is already married and has a reputation for being a womanizer. Idalia must navigate the complexities of their relationship while also dealing with the jealousy and resentment of those around her.Throughout the novel, Ouida explores themes of love, ambition, and the struggle for independence in a society that is often hostile to women who seek to break free from traditional gender roles. Despite the challenges she faces, Idalia remains a strong and resilient character who refuses to be defined by the expectations of others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
