Produktbeschreibung

Guy Boothby's The Marriage of Esther is a captivating novel that combines elements of mystery, romance, and social commentary. Set in late 19th century England, the story follows Esther, a young woman who is forced into an arranged marriage with a wealthy but cruel aristocrat. As she navigates the treacherous waters of high society, Esther becomes entangled in a web of deceit and scandal that threatens to ruin her life. Boothby's writing style is elegant and atmospheric, drawing readers into a world of opulence and oppression. The novel also serves as a subtle critique of the rigid social norms and gender expectations of the time. Guy Boothby, a prolific English writer, was known for his adventurous and suspenseful stories. His own experiences in high society and his observations of the plight of women in that era likely inspired him to write The Marriage of Esther. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy Victorian literature, as well as those interested in themes of love, betrayal, and societal constraints.
