"A Question of Marriage" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel set in the late 19th century, focusing on a young woman whose future is dramatically altered by a devastating revelation from her doctor. Due to her family's history of mental illness, she is informed that marriage is not an option, as it could lead to the hereditary condition. This diagnosis forces her to reconsider her life and the societal expectations tied to marriage. The novel begins with the protagonist receiving this heartbreaking news, which sparks an internal conflict as she contemplates a fulfilling life outside the traditional role of a wife. Encouraged by the doctor to seek independence and fulfillment beyond marriage, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. As the story unfolds, she navigates the complexities of friendship, romantic feelings, and identity, all while grappling with her place in a world where a woman's worth is often defined by her relationship status. The narrative explores themes of personal sacrifice, independence, and the search for love in the face of societal constraints, offering a reflection on the emotional and social challenges women faced during the era.
