Man and Wife is a novel by the English writer Wilkie Collins, first published in serial form in 1870. The story revolves around the marriage of Geoffrey Delamyn and his young bride, Anne Silvester. Geoffrey is a wealthy landowner who falls in love with Anne, a beautiful and independent young woman who is determined to make her own way in the world.Despite their love for each other, their marriage is plagued by secrets and misunderstandings. Anne has a dark past that she is afraid to reveal to Geoffrey, while he is haunted by the memory of a previous marriage that ended in tragedy. As their relationship becomes increasingly strained, they find themselves caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to tear them apart.Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Man and Wife is a gripping tale of love, passion, and betrayal. Collins masterfully weaves together a complex plot filled with twists and turns, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end. With its vivid characters and rich historical detail, this novel is a must-read for fans of classic literature and Victorian-era dramas.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.
