London Pride is a novel written by Mary E. Braddon. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Hester Denton. Hester is a beautiful and intelligent woman who lives in London with her father, a wealthy merchant. She is engaged to a man named Arthur, who is also wealthy and well-respected in society.However, Hester's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets a man named Julian Wyvil. Julian is a charismatic and charming man who sweeps Hester off her feet. Despite her engagement to Arthur, Hester finds herself falling in love with Julian and begins to question her own feelings and desires.As Hester's relationship with Julian deepens, she must navigate the complexities of Victorian society and the expectations placed on her as a woman. She must also confront the consequences of her choices and the impact they have on her family and friends.London Pride is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, passion, and societal expectations. Braddon's vivid descriptions of Victorian London and her complex characters make for a compelling and entertaining read.Could she go back to such a life as that? Go back! Leave all she loved? At the mere suggestion her trembling hand was stretched out involuntarily to clasp her niece Henriette, kneeling beside her. Leave them--leave those with whom and for whom she lived? Leave this loving child--her sister--her brother? Fareham had told her to call him Brother. He had been to her as a brother, with all a brother's kindness, counselling her, confiding in her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
