Description
Judith Wynne is a masterful slow-burn romance that explores themes of family, class, and pride. After the death of their patriarch, the surviving Reece family takes in Judith Wynne, a nineteen-year-old woman who had been left in her aunt's care due to her father's career. The family welcomes Judith into their home, despite some initial reservations. As Judith settles into her new life with the Reeces, she forms close bonds with Mrs. Reece and Oscar, the younger son. However, Wolfgang, the oldest brother, sees an opportunity in Judith's inheritance and tries to set her up with Oscar, despite his brother's lack of consent. As Wolfgang spends more time with Judith, he begins to realize the futility of his efforts and grapples with his own conflicting feelings for her. First published in 1884, this novel continues to appeal to readers with its memorable characters, descriptive language, and moving love story.
