Very Genteel is a novel written by Fanny Wheeler Hart and published in 1880. The story follows the lives of two sisters, Edith and Mildred, who come from a wealthy family in New York City. The sisters are both beautiful and well-educated, but they have very different personalities. Edith is outgoing and adventurous, while Mildred is more reserved and proper. The novel explores the social norms and expectations of the upper class during the late 19th century. It touches on themes such as marriage, class, and gender roles. Edith and Mildred both face challenges in their pursuit of love and happiness, as they navigate the strict rules of their society. Throughout the book, the sisters encounter a variety of characters, including suitors, family members, and friends. Each character adds depth to the story and sheds light on the different perspectives and values of the time period. Overall, Very Genteel is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the upper class in the late 19th century. It offers a nuanced portrayal of the challenges and rewards of living in a society with strict social hierarchies and expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
