Marrying Off A Daughter is a novel written by Henry Greville and first published in 1878. The story is set in 19th century France and follows the lives of two families, the Delaunays and the Lavernes. The Delaunays are a wealthy family who are eager to marry off their daughter, Louise, to a suitable suitor. The Lavernes, on the other hand, are a struggling family who hope to use their daughter, Claire, to secure a better financial future.The novel explores the themes of love, marriage, and social status in a time when arranged marriages were common and women had limited options in life. It also touches on the class divide in French society and the pressures that families faced to maintain their social standing.As the story unfolds, the Delaunays and Lavernes navigate the complexities of courtship and marriage, facing obstacles such as disapproving family members, financial difficulties, and societal expectations. The novel ultimately reveals the consequences of marrying for wealth or status rather than love and the importance of following one's heart.Marrying Off A Daughter is a classic work of French literature that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and values of the time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction, romance, and the complexities of human relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
