Marge Askinforit is a novel written by Barry Pain and first published in 1921. The story revolves around Marge, a young woman who is determined to make a better life for herself. She is ambitious and resourceful, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.Marge starts out working as a maid in a wealthy household, but she quickly realizes that she wants more out of life. She begins to scheme and connive her way into better positions, using her wit and charm to get what she wants. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters, including a wealthy businessman, a struggling artist, and a group of suffragettes.As Marge climbs the social ladder, she becomes increasingly ruthless and manipulative. She is willing to betray anyone who stands in her way, including her friends and lovers. However, her ambition eventually catches up with her, and she is forced to confront the consequences of her actions.Marge Askinforit is a satirical novel that skewers the social mores and class structures of early 20th century England. It is a darkly humorous and often cynical look at the lengths that people will go to in order to get ahead. Despite its age, the book remains relevant today, as it explores themes of ambition, greed, and the corrupting influence of power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
