Beschreibung

Maid, Wife or Widow? is a novel written by Mrs. Alexander, a popular Victorian-era author. The book tells the story of a young woman named Hester, who is forced to make a difficult decision about her future. Hester is in love with a man named Ralph, but her father disapproves of the match and forbids them from seeing each other. When Hester's father dies unexpectedly, she is left with a choice: she can either marry Ralph and risk being disowned by her family, or she can marry a wealthy older man and secure her future. Hester chooses the latter option and becomes the wife of a wealthy merchant. However, her marriage is not a happy one, and she soon finds herself longing for the love and freedom she gave up. As the years pass, Hester must navigate the challenges of being a wife and mother, all while struggling to find true happiness and fulfillment.

Autor

Anne "Annie" French Hector, better known by her pen name Mrs. Alexander, was a popular 19th-century novelist born on June 23, 1825, in Dublin, Ireland. She became well-known for her works, which often centered on young women navigating complex emotional and social dilemmas. Her novels typically explored themes of love, family, money, and societal expectations, with many of her characters facing the challenges of balancing these competing forces, sometimes complicated by a legacy or inheritance. Mrs. Alexander s stories often focused on the internal struggles of her protagonists, highlighting their growth and development as they confronted personal and moral conflicts. In 1858, she married Alexander Hector, and she spent much of her life in London, where she continued to write until her death on July 10, 1902. Her works were highly regarded during her lifetime, and she enjoyed popularity among readers of her era. Though her fame has since waned, her novels remain a reflection of the societal and gender dynamics of 19th-century Britain, offering insight into the challenges faced by women of that time.
