Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"His Fortunate Grace" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around themes of wealth, social responsibility, and the complexities of romantic relationships amidst societal expectations. The main character, Augusta Forbes, is depicted as a progressive young woman grappling with her responsibilities as an heiress and her aspirations toward social reform, particularly in the context of women's suffrage and socialism. The opening of the novel introduces Augusta during a conversation with her father, Mr. Forbes, about her intense desire to use her wealth for the greater good and support socialist ideals. It highlights Augusta's strong will and her commitment to making a difference, contrasting her views with those of her more traditional mother, Virginia Forbes. The narrative then shifts focus to Augusta's social circle, where discussions about women's rights and political responsibilities unfold. Intriguingly, the story hints at romantic entanglements, particularly revolving around Augusta and the Duke of Bosworth, suggesting potential conflicts between personal desires and societal obligations as the plot progresses.
