Within A Circle is a novel written by Emily Marion Harris and first published in 1880. The story is set in the mid-19th century and revolves around the lives of a group of upper-class British women who form a tight-knit social circle. The novel explores the complex relationships, rivalries, and alliances within this group of women, as well as their struggles with societal expectations, marriage, and motherhood.The main character, Lady Adela Lisle, is a young and beautiful widow who is highly respected and admired by her peers. However, her life is turned upside down when she falls in love with a younger man, the artist Leonard Leigh. Adela's close friend, Lady Caroline, disapproves of the relationship and tries to sabotage it, leading to a rift between the two women.As the story unfolds, the reader is introduced to a cast of characters that includes other members of the social circle, such as the wealthy and influential Lady Agnes, the kind-hearted Lady Grace, and the manipulative Lady Blanche. Each of these women has their own secrets, desires, and struggles, and their interactions with each other reveal the complexities of their relationships.Throughout the novel, Harris explores themes such as love, friendship, betrayal, and the constraints of Victorian society. She also offers a nuanced portrayal of the lives of upper-class women during this time period, highlighting the challenges and limitations they faced despite their privileged status.Overall, Within A Circle is a fascinating and thought-provoking novel that provides a glimpse into the lives and relationships of Victorian women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
