Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Addie's Husband; or, Through Clouds to Sunshine" by Mrs. Gordon Smythies is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book opens with a focus on the Lefroy family, particularly the spirited and thoughtful Addie, who grapples with the challenges of her impoverished situation following her father's abandonment. As the family faces the harsh realities of their social decline, the story unfolds in a setting steeped in nostalgia and longing for their once-prosperous home, Nutsgrove. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Addie and her siblings as they banter about their futures while navigating the struggles of poverty and the responsibilities of growing up without parental guidance. The dynamic within the Lefroy family is marked by both camaraderie and the tensions of their financial troubles, culminating in a sense of impending change as they confront the loss of Nutsgrove and their childhood innocence. Addie's encounter with Tom Armstrong, the new master of their childhood home, sets the stage for a pivotal confrontation regarding her future, culminating in a marriage proposal that challenges the very essence of her identity and desires. The opening pages offer a poignant mix of humor, vulnerability, and the weight of societal expectations, inviting readers to explore a tale of resilience and hope amidst adversity.
