The Price of a Wife is a novel written by John Strange Winter and published in 1901. The story follows the life of a young woman named Hilda, who is forced to marry a wealthy man named Sir John. Hilda is not in love with Sir John, but her family pressures her to marry him for financial security. As Hilda adjusts to her new life as Lady John, she discovers that her husband is not the man she thought he was. He is controlling, abusive, and unfaithful. Hilda feels trapped in her marriage and struggles to find a way out. The novel explores themes of loveless marriages, societal pressures, and the consequences of marrying for financial gain. It also sheds light on the mistreatment of women during the early 1900s. Overall, The Price of a Wife is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of marriage and the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
