Man and Wife is a novel written by the famous English author, Wilkie Collins. It was published in 1870 and is considered to be one of Collins' most controversial works due to its exploration of the legal and moral issues surrounding marriage and divorce.The story follows the lives of two couples, Geoffrey and Anne Haldimand, and Sir Patrick and Lady Lundie. Geoffrey and Anne are newlyweds who are deeply in love, but their happiness is threatened when Anne's former lover, Blanche Lundie, reappears in their lives. Blanche is determined to break up their marriage and will stop at nothing to achieve her goal.Meanwhile, Sir Patrick and Lady Lundie are dealing with their own marital issues. Lady Lundie is convinced that her husband is having an affair with Blanche and is determined to uncover the truth. As the two couples become more entangled in each other's lives, their relationships are put to the test and secrets are revealed.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, jealousy, and betrayal, and is known for its complex plot and intricate character development. It also touches on the legal and social issues surrounding marriage and divorce in Victorian England, making it a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and values of the time.Overall, Man and Wife is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that continues to be widely read and studied today.In three months from the memorable day when his solicitor had informed him that he was a free man, Mr. Vanborough possessed the wife he desired, to grace the head of his table and to push his fortunes in the world--the Legislature of Great Britain being the humble servant of his treachery, and the respectable accomplice of his crime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
