Omschrijving

The Guardians is a novel written by Harriet Waters Preston and published in 1888. The story revolves around the lives of two women, one of whom is a wealthy heiress and the other is a poor seamstress. The heiress, named Grace, is forced into a marriage with a man she does not love in order to appease her father's wishes. The seamstress, named Alice, is struggling to make ends meet and support her young son. As the story progresses, Grace becomes increasingly unhappy in her marriage and turns to Alice for comfort and support. The two women form a close bond and become guardians of each other's secrets and interests. However, their relationship is threatened by the arrival of a handsome and charming man named Arthur, who becomes a love interest for both Grace and Alice.The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class, as well as the struggles of women in nineteenth-century society. It also delves into the complexities of female friendships and the power dynamics within them. The Guardians is a compelling and thought-provoking read that offers insight into the lives of women during a pivotal period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
