The Misses Mallett is a novel written by E. H. Young. It is a story about two sisters, Hester and Harriet Mallett, who live a quiet and uneventful life in a small English town. Hester is the elder sister and is known for her kindness and generosity, while Harriet is more reserved and introspective.Their lives are turned upside down when a young man, John Carstairs, comes to town and falls in love with Hester. The sisters are forced to confront their own feelings and desires as they navigate the complexities of love, family, and society.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, duty, and societal expectations, as well as the challenges faced by women in the early 20th century. It is a poignant and thought-provoking story that offers a glimpse into the lives of two remarkable women and the choices they make in a world that often limits their options.She sat there, vividly conscious of herself, and sometimes she saw the whole room as a picture and she was part of it; sometimes she saw only those three whose lives, she felt, were practically over, for even Aunt Rose was comparatively old. She pitied them because their romance was past, while hers waited for her outside; she wondered at their happiness, their interest in their appearance, their pleasure in parties; but she felt most sorry for Aunt Rose, midway between what should have been the resignation of her stepsisters and the glowing anticipation of her niece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
