Man and Wife is a novel by Wilkie Collins, first published in 1870. The story follows the lives of two young lovers, Geoffrey Delamayn and Anne Silvester, as they navigate the complexities of Victorian society and the legal system. When Anne discovers that Geoffrey has a history of gambling and womanizing, she breaks off their engagement. However, when Geoffrey is accused of a serious crime, Anne must decide whether to stand by him or to reveal his secrets. Meanwhile, a cast of colorful characters, including lawyers, doctors, and detectives, become involved in the case, leading to a dramatic conclusion. Man and Wife is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and justice, and is considered one of Collins' most accomplished works.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.
