Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lover and Husband: A Novel" by Mrs. Molesworth is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Marion Vere and her brother Harry, as they navigate familial obligations, personal challenges, and social interactions against the backdrop of their exclusive social environment. Central to the plot is Marion's concern for her brother's predicament involving a debt and her willingness to help him while embarking on her own journey of self-discovery and relationship building. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a gloomy London day, where Marion prepares to leave her home for a six-month stay in Altes, alongside her cousin Cissy Archer. Marion's world is soon disrupted when her brother Harry visits, expressing his anxiety over a financial scrape he has gotten into, linked to his friend Cuthbert. The siblings' conversation reveals their deep bond, yet it also highlights the tense relationship with their father, Mr. Vere, who commands significant authority and inspires fear. The ensuing narrative promises a blend of personal growth, familial loyalty, and social dynamics as Marion steps into a new chapter among complex interpersonal relationships, thus setting the stage for her journey ahead.
