Like Unto Like is a novel written by Sherwood Bonner and first published in 1878. The story takes place in the American South during the Reconstruction era and follows the lives of two families, the Devereauxes and the Wyses. The Devereauxes are a wealthy, aristocratic family who have fallen on hard times after the Civil War, while the Wyses are a poor, working-class family who have managed to hold onto their land.The main character of the novel is Virginia Devereaux, a headstrong young woman who is determined to restore her family's fortunes. She is engaged to marry a wealthy man named Frank Ravenel, but she finds herself drawn to the Wyses' son, David. Despite their different social backgrounds, Virginia and David share a deep connection and a mutual respect for each other.As the novel progresses, Virginia must navigate the complex social hierarchy of the South and decide whether to follow her heart or marry for financial security. Along the way, she confronts issues of race, class, and gender, and learns to question the values and traditions of her upbringing.Like Unto Like is a complex and nuanced portrayal of life in the post-Civil War South. It explores themes of love, loyalty, and identity, and offers a powerful critique of the social and economic systems that perpetuate inequality and injustice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
